I cannot build bcm963xx with the standard Kbuild W=1 switch:

arch/mips/bcm63xx/boards/board_bcm963xx.c: At top level:
arch/mips/bcm63xx/boards/board_bcm963xx.c:647:5: error: no previous prototype for 'bcm63xx_get_fallback_sprom' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

This patch removes the gcc switch to make W=1 work. Mips is the only
architecture I know which does not build with W=1 and this upsets my aiaiai
scripts. And in general, you never know which warnings newer versions of gcc
will start emiting so having -Werror by default is not the best idea.

 If the function has no prototype, then it cannot be reasonably used from 
outside -- perhaps you meant to mark it static instead?

No, I meant what I meant - MIPS does not build with W=1.

There's been a whole bunch of other -Werrors below arch/mips some of
which even were combined with -Wall.  I removed all off them except the
central -Werror in arch/mips/Kbuild.  I'm pondering a better solution
for that one now.
