This warning is coming from sparse as per below explanation

As the name suggests, a "bitwise" expression is one that is restricted to
only a certain "bitwise" operations that make sense within that class. In
particular, you can't mix a "bitwise" class with a normal integer
expression
Warning:
int __bitwise i;
int __bitwise j;
the two variables "i" and "j" are _not_ compatible, simply because they
were declared separately, while in the case of
	int __bitwise i, j;
they _are_ compatible.
