drivers/misc/cxl/Makefile:ccflags-y := -Werror -Wno-unused-const-variable
You could take that -Wno-unused-const-variable out of the
Makefile or maybe add something like:
$(call cc-ifversion, -ge, 0530, -Wno-unused-const-variable)
or whatever gcc version actually added that unused-const-variable check
