I submitted https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/209796. I tagged
you in a comment, since I can't add you as a reviewer myself.

While I work on getting the LLVM change landed, I might try adding some
annotations to other drivers. I have a series for infiniband/hw/efa/.
And I've been working on Lustre as well, since I want it to enforce
context analysis on it once it's accepted upstream.

Is there a roadmap for future Clang static checks? Other ideas for
using context analysis? I'm really interested in using Clang to
improve the correctness of kernel code and I'd like to help get this
adopted more widely.
