Hi Michal,

It seems this patch was reviewed but never applied, not sure why.
Anyway, note below.

I can't reproduce this on a regular build, but it does show up on sparse builds
for either ARM64 (reason I found this patch) or RISC-V (GCC, but the thread from
the Closes: tag below has a recent warning from a Clang build).

If this was indeed just a sparse issue, could you update the commit message to
point that out?

Thanks,
Alessio
