Well, I consider compiler warnings bugs. I have had plenty of my
compiler warning patches sent as bug fixes for an -rc. Furthermore, this
patch was sent three times by different people, that should give you some
indication that people are tripping over it.

The first version was sent on December 11th, it looks like your pull for
5.11 went on the December 14th, then the second version was applied on
December 16th so I figured it might be destined for 5.11 but I could not
tell (your for-next branch is a merge of your for-5.11 and for-5.12):
