When building with W=2, there are lots of warnings about the snd_kcontrol_new name field being an array of 'unsigned char' but initialized to a string:
include/sound/soc.h:93:48: warning: pointer targets in initialization of 'const unsigned char *' from 'char *' differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]
Make it a regular 'char *' to avoid flooding the build log with this.

I'm fine to apply this, but I thought we agreed to ignore pointer signedness intentionally? There are lots of such places and we were fed up in the past when gcc complained a lot about those...
I'm only sending fixes for the ones in headers that get included in a lot of places. There are good reasons for building being able to build specific drivers or directories with W=2, but it's less helpful if there are many identical warnings.
OK, now I applied the patch. Thanks!
