yes, you are right, it should be, but gcc 5.x seems to have problems
with it ... compiled code size for the openrd_base config is same with
my patch ...

Hmm... for the openrd_base compile local_irq_save() is used from:
arch/arm/thumb1/include/asm/proc-armv/system.h

with:
static inline void local_irq_save(
         unsigned long flags __attribute__((unused)))
{
         __asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
}

flasg marked as unused ... seems correct to me, but I have
no idea, why gcc 5.x prints a warning ... any ideas?

bye,
Heiko
