[PATCH] kbuild: remove GCC's default -Wpacked-bitfield-compat flag

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Wed Mar 06 2024 - 07:48:42 EST


Commit 4a5838ad9d2d ("kbuild: Add extra gcc checks") added the
-Wpacked-bitfield-compat flag.

GCC manual says:
"This warning is enabled by default. Use -Wno-packed-bitfield-compat
to disable this warning."

The test code in the manual:

struct foo
{
char a:4;
char b:8;
} __attribute__ ((packed));

.. emits "note: offset of packed bit-field ‘b’ has changed in GCC 4.4"
without W=3.

Let's remove it, as it is a default with GCC.

Clang does not support this flag, so its removal will not affect Clang
builds.
