This warning is crap. WTF difference does it make???? The compiler does not care, and any reader with any piece of a brain is not going to be confused!
This patch and all others like it are just meaningless source churning!
This author has made such a royal mess of his patches that I recommend that ALL of them be dropped. In addition, we should continue to drop his changes until he learns how to use git to generate N/M patches, and until he reads the documentation on patch submission.
