FWIW, I think it's a bit scary to enable -Werror unconditionally. You'll
then need to take into account *all* compilers the kernel build
supports. I'd hate to fail the build for someone trying out a new
compiler that has some new warnings.

In i915, we've added our own kconfig for this that we tell our
developers to use and have enabled in our CI. It also depends on
!COMPILE_TEST to not get enabled by allmodconfig/allyesconfig configs.
The Makefile then has:

subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_DRM_I915_WERROR) += -Werror

On a somewhat related side note, it would be great to be able to enable
the equivalent of W=1 on a subdir level. Now we need to add basically
the same stuff one by one. Cc: Masahiro.

BR,
Jani.
