The objtool warning is fixed by [1].

Now, I see only 3 objtool warnings (all "falls through to next function"):

drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/atom.o: warning: objtool: atom_op_move() falls
through to next function atom_op_and()
drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/evergreen_cs.o: warning: objtool:
evergreen_cs_parse() falls through to next function
evergreen_dma_cs_parse()
drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/platform.o: warning: objtool: tune_serdes()
falls through to next function apply_tx_lanes()

The other i915 call-trace I have seen was independent of $COMPILER and
the objtool warning (details see [2] and [3]).

I was able to boot into my system.
