Hi,

This problem is resolved in a more recent version of sparse,
the one you can find at:
  git://github.com/lucvoo/sparse-dev

See Linus' email about it:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFzYEnZR2GZLR-DwpONjMNYGYoDy+6AWLCVNayWiaZuqoA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u

NB. The official version hosted on kernel.org is not uptodate but
    I hope this will solved in a few weeks.

Best regards,
