Seems reasonable to me, but I'm a bit out of competence here.

I know some lints are not stable and hence need to be treated with care, though
this doesn't seem to be one of them.

Additionally, I think the lint would need to be supported by all compiler
versions the kernel supports currently, which also seems to be the case (added
in: 1.51.0).

Yes, you can check the root Makefile [1].
