There were some attempts in the past to enable W=1 in particular subsystems,
so here is a similar comment.

Adding a new warning flag to W=1 is always safe without doing any compile test.

With this series, it would not be true any more because a new warning in W=1
would potentially break riscv/samsung platforms.

Linus requires a clean build (i.e. zero warning) when W= option is not given.
