Only when passing -Wall (this is the case when building the kernel packages in
Debian with additional flags, so this is why this was spotted):

gcc -Wall -c -Iinclude  -o dlfilters/dlfilter-test-api-v0.o -fpic dlfilters/dlfilter-test-api-v0.c
dlfilters/dlfilter-test-api-v0.c: In function ‘filter_event’:
dlfilters/dlfilter-test-api-v0.c:311:29: warning: unused variable ‘d’ [-Wunused-variable]
  311 |         struct filter_data *d = data;
      |
