commit b303c6df80c9f8f13785aa83a0471fca7e38b24d upstream.
Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched various false positives:
- commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os") turned off this option for -Os.
- commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES
- commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC < 4.9 Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903
I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.
