I got it.
Clang does NOT recognize -Wno-unused-but-set-variable.
But, the code I changed is not parsed for clang.
That is why I did not see any problem with this patch.
See the following code.
ifeq ($(cc-name),clang)
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Qunused-arguments,)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, format-invalid-specifier)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, gnu)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, address-of-packed-member)
# Quiet clang warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, tautological-compare)
# CLANG uses a _MergedGlobals as optimization, but this breaks modpost, as the
# source of a reference will be _MergedGlobals and not on of the
whitelisted names.
# See modpost pattern 2
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -mno-global-merge,)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -fcatch-undefined-behavior)
else
# These warnings generated too much noise in a regular build.
# Use make W=1 to enable them (see scripts/Makefile.extrawarn)
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -Wno-unused-but-set-variable
endif
