Sounds good, can you prepare a patch for this?

We are getting very close to zero warnings now with the
latest arm-soc/for-next branch:

Can you also look at the nomadik warnings and possibly some of the others
if you have time? Unfortunately I'm heading out for my Christmas vacation
and can't do any others of these any more.
