The change itself looks fine but a couple of comments:

1. Nick and I do not pick up patches, we rely on others to do so.
Additionally, this is not really something within our domain, despite
what get_maintainer.pl might say. This change should be sent to
either

Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org

or

Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

so that it can be applied by one of them.

2. I am not sure that silencing warnings from W=2 is that useful, as
they are unlikely to be real issues. Not to discourage you by any
means but it might be more useful to focus on cleaning up warnings
from W=1 and getting those promoted to regular build warnings.

Cheers,
Nathan
