When CONFIG_SND_SOC_ZL38060 is y, MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE expands to nothing so zl38_dt_ids will be unused. This is a pretty common construct in the kernel and the only way I can think of to resolve this through the code is by adding __used annotations to all of these variables, which I think is overkill for this.
Personally, I think this warning should be downgraded to W=2, thoughts?
Cheers, Nathan
