Nothing specific. But just tested this with x86 defconfig with relevant configs
which are required for this test. Not sure if it involved W=1. The problem is,
there is no other or better way to have both the conditional checks in place
while also reducing the chances this warning. IMHO both the conditional checks
are required.
