Yes, I identified the problem and the config was silently getting
disabled and hiding all the errors/warning. Driver also was tested on
OpenWrt build system where the option WERROR wasn't enabled as I was
devloping other stuff so this added on top of it of not noticing stuff.

I promise this won't ever happen again. Also I sent v2 for this hoping
things can get reverted and the correct series can be applied. If not I
can quickly send a followup that fix this. I verified with the repro
that the warning/error gets solved. (it's just channging the int to u8)
