Hmmm, strange. I only see 3 warnings which are resolved with my patch:

[stefan at kubuntu u-boot (master)]$ ./MAKEALL dbau1000

This is on TOT (git ID 2b6fd5c77db9c6ed3cea9799c86ff922cf0107b2).

Ah, there's something I noticed in your test. Please see below.

Those errors occur twice. Seems that you are compiling this file twice.
Any idea why?

And now one version of the errors are solved, only one is remaining. Perhaps
you are compiling a 2nd version of this driver again. Just guessing...
