Hmm, would this not still give a warning when JOYSTICK_IFORCE_USB=y?
[ I didn't know mixing code and declarations (not at top of statement
  block) was accepted style in the kernel ... ]

IMHO either you should at least wrap that case inside a {} of its
own (so that the int status; is at top of a statement block), or else,
preferably, just add "__maybe_unused" to the first declaration that you
removed just now.
