Tag pci_device_id in ntb_pci_probe as unused function parameters.  This
corrects issues found by 'EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W'.

Why would you build the kernel with that option?  This isn't needed, so
I'm not going to apply it.

thanks,

Per Documentation/SubmitChecklist:

22: Newly-added code has been compiled with `gcc -W' (use "make
    EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W").  This will generate lots of noise, but is good for
    finding bugs like "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned".


I was attempting to comply with that suggestion.  If this is
unnecessary, then I can toss these, but I don't really see them
hurting anything.

Same goes for the other 2 patches found via 'EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W'.

Thanks,
Jon

It's messy and unneeded, so I'd not recommend using it.  As the
checklist says, it generates a lot of noise, and is good for finding
real bugs, this isn't a "real" bug at all.

Understood, I've not applied them either :)

thanks,
