Depends on what you mean by fixing them.. I did not even know that
someone would compile with -Wunused-parameter (or well, maybe more
likely with -Wextra without disabling this specific warning). This
results in 3522 "unused parameter" warning with my build configuration.

I'm using "-Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter" for a good reason of getting
rid of these bogus warnings. It is not an error, or worth a warning,
IMHO, if a function does not use every single parameter. There is a
large number of function pointers in wpa_supplicant/hostapd for
implementing generic interfaces like EAP method operations or
configuration parsers. Some EAP methods may need all the parameters,
many don't. Trying to somehow encode every such location with
__attribute__((unused)) to avoid this warning sounds both useless work
and ugly in the end.
