Thanks.
The bot uses the very latest sparse version (which is very nice)
but is giving here false warnings. The change in the patch has as
consequence to change related warnings:
	: ...
	:   expected void const volatile [noderef] __user *
	:   got ...
into:
	: ...
	:   expected void const volatile [noderef] __user *ptr
	:   got ...

But to the bot, any change to the content of the warning itself
or its associated info is presented as a new warning.
I've talked to the bot's guys about this problem and they've
replied that they're seriously considering to change this behaviour.
