Andrew had put this patch in -next for a while, and Stephen Rothwell was
able to trigger some warnings: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/19/627

Subject: [PATCH] rwsem: Fix warnings for CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK

Optimistic spinning is only used by the xadd variant
of rw-semaphores. Make sure that we use the old version
of the __RWSEM_INITIALIZER macro for systems that rely
on the spinlock one, otherwise warnings can be triggered,
such as the following reported on an arm box:

ipc/ipcns_notifier.c:22:8: warning: excess elements in struct initializer 
[enabled by default]
ipc/ipcns_notifier.c:22:8: warning: (near initialization for 
'ipcns_chain.rwsem') [enabled by default]
ipc/ipcns_notifier.c:22:8: warning: excess elements in struct initializer 
[enabled by default]
ipc/ipcns_notifier.c:22:8: warning: (near initialization for 
'ipcns_chain.rwsem') [enabled by default]
