Unused variables only take extra space on stack. I can imagine they can
serve as protection against buffer overflow attacks exploiting
off-by-one errors. It's hard to imagine an unused variable to create a
problem other than stack overflow, in which case we would be observing a
kernel panic.

This was fixed years ago. But since you are doing software archeology,
it's probably the desired effect.

You haven't tried even older drivers yet. They may cause more
interesting warnings and runtime errors :)
