Ah, so I should have ignored the relation with __setup_* but
concentrate on the line.  LTO goes much deeper than a human being can
look through :)

Yes, such an error is often overseen.  A quick grep shows the
following:

arch/arc/plat-axs10x/axs10x.c:463:static const char *axs101_compat[] __initconst = {
arch/arc/plat-axs10x/axs10x.c:477:static const char *axs103_compat[] __initconst = {
arch/arc/plat-sim/platform.c:22:static const char *simulation_compat[] __initconst = {
arch/arm/mach-imx/mach-imx6ul.c:87:static const char *imx6ul_dt_compat[] __initconst = {
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-r8a7793.c:22:static const char *r8a7793_boards_compat_dt[] __initconst = {
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_rapl.c:66:static const char *rapl_domain_names[NR_RAPL_DOMAINS] __initconst = {

OK, noted.
