This was added in 386efb7695debaf5f0f328a2e4c9abc342161665 to address spammy Clang warnings when building with ccache.
The issue was addressed in ccache 3.2, and from a look at most major distros, it's only Debian Jessie that has a version of ccache older than that (3.1).
Therefore I think it's acceptable to drop this workaround, and re-enable warnings for unused driver arguments (when compiling using Clang and ccache).
