Hmm, I wonder what else is required here to trigger that warning. On
amd64 I also disabled CONFIG_MODULES as otherwise rcar_pwm_of_table is
used by

	MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, rcar_pwm_of_table);

With that I have:

	uwe at taurus:~/work/kbuild/amd64$ make drivers/pwm/pwm-rcar.o 
	  GEN     Makefile
	  CALL    /home/uwe/gsrc/linux/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
	  DESCEND objtool
	  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
	  CC      drivers/pwm/pwm-rcar.o
	uwe at taurus:~/work/kbuild/amd64$ make drivers/pwm/pwm-rcar.i
	  GEN     Makefile
	  CALL    /home/uwe/gsrc/linux/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
	  DESCEND objtool
	  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
	  CPP     drivers/pwm/pwm-rcar.i
	uwe at taurus:~/work/kbuild/amd64$ grep rcar_pwm_of_table drivers/pwm/pwm-rcar.i
	static const struct of_device_id rcar_pwm_of_table[] = {

... some time later ...

ah, you also need W=1 to get that warning because of

	# These warnings generated too much noise in a regular build.
	# Use make W=1 to enable them (see scripts/Makefile.extrawarn)
	KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, unused-but-set-variable)
	KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, unused-const-variable)

in the toplevel Makefile.

I guess that explains why there is no previous report by one of the
build bots about this issue.

Best regards
Uwe
