Hi,

When a method parameter in a kernel module is not used, we do not get any warning (as opposed to a variable which is not used).

Is there any compilation flag which enables getting warning in such a case ?

No, and it's unclear that it would be worthwhile. Consider a kernel module that implements a device driver, and the ->ioctl() only implements ioctl(fd,START|STOP|PAUSE|RESUME,/* ignored parameter */). Or any other case where there's a generic struct of pointers to functions that have fixed signatures, but for a given module, we don't need to access one.
