Thanks Stephen. That is very useful. I tried adding these flags via meson.build
for common/sfc_efx, common/sfc_efx/base and for net/sfc trees and the only thing
I was able to find is as follows:

In file included from ../lib/eal/x86/include/rte_byteorder.h:9,
                  from ../drivers/net/sfc/sfc_ef10_essb_rx.c:14:
../drivers/net/sfc/sfc_ef10_essb_rx.c: In function ‘sfc_ef10_essb_rx_qsize_up_rings’:

   535 |         nb_hw_rx_desc = RTE_MAX(SFC_DIV_ROUND_UP(nb_rx_desc,
       |

But no extra warnings in the base driver.

Thank you.
