No.

This has obviously never even been test-compiled. It introduces two
new annoying warnings.

Sorry about that. I dropped the patch for now and here's a new pull request.

I did test compile, and I would have noticed errors but I missed the warnings
(I blame the flu...). I need to improve my testing methods, but I couldn't find
a way to add -Werror to kernel builds. I guess I should just always capture the
warnings and errors to a file, and check that after the build.

How do you test build?

I basically do just an allmodconfig build, but I do it with

make -j16 > ../make-output

so that any warnings are very obvious (because stdout goes elsewhere).

You can turn it on per-directory, eg:

diff --git a/drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile b/drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile
index ee8c81405a7f..2ee96810d26d 100644
--- a/drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile
+++ b/drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile
@@ -4,6 +4,8 @@

# Each configuration option enables a list of files.

+subdir-ccflags-y := -Werror
+
obj-y += core/

obj-$(CONFIG_FB_MACMODES) += macmodes.o
