Patches welcome... ;)  Personally I dunno, I just took David's code
and changes it a bit.

I'd say the above is not acceptable as a commit message.  Please
include only the text that is intended to go to the commit message
above.  All additional comments may go under the “---” marker.

Is it necessary?  Wouldn't plain

WARNINGS = -Wall -Wextra

suffice?  I am aware “=” can be overridden by command line and
“:=” cannot but I'd use single line anyway.

IMO, you should also include a rule for ffs-test, ie:

+all: testusb ffs-test
+
+%: %.c
+	$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $^

Not tested.

Instead:

Unnecessary empty line at EOF.

Other then that, I see no reason why not to include it.
