Hi Arnd,

Thanks for fixing this code! Did someone reproduce this bug, or this
is something theoretical, based on the code analysis? I just never
heard about the issue. I can look into the code on the weekends too, I
have WM8505\WM8650 machines to test.

Is it enough to run the regular kernel build for WM8650 to see the
warnings, or there are special options in the kernel to run the compiler
test?

Regards
Roman
