That is well possible. I try to catch new warnings early by building lots of kernels with random configurations and sending kernel fixes, but if there are more than a few dozen instances and none of them are interesting kernel bugs, I'd also turn off that warning. I have started going through all available warnings to see how much output they generate (97GB on an allmodconfig kernel build when turning them all on with gcc, more with clang), with the intention of re-enabling the more useful ones, but will take a while to get there as I can only enable them after having fixed all the warnings we get.
