We do:

prep_config() {
  make LLVM=1 O=$output_dir allmodconfig
  ./scripts/config --file $output_dir/.config -d werror
  ./scripts/config --file $output_dir/.config -d drm_werror
  ./scripts/config --file $output_dir/.config -d kvm_werror
}

I have strong feelings about people who think Werror is an acceptable
practice in 2025, but let me not violate the CoC here..
