Ok, so I don't know how you caught this but FWIW, we have those W= build
switches which trigger it too (which is a good thing that we have them
:-))

$ make W=1 drivers/edac/edac_module.o

...

drivers/edac/edac_module.c: In function ‘edac_set_debug_level’:
drivers/edac/edac_module.c:31:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
  if (val < 0 || val > 4)

Applied, thanks.
