Actually, we can conclude that gcc-10 is not smart enough and ignore
this report. The call gen_split_key() has len == 0:

	append_fifo_load_as_imm(desc, NULL, 0, LDST_CLASS_2_CCB |
				FIFOLD_TYPE_MSG | FIFOLD_TYPE_LAST2);

It ends up in append_data(), again with len == 0, which does:

	if (len) /* avoid sparse warning: memcpy with byte count of 0 */
		memcpy(offset, data, len);

So memcpy() should never get a NULL argument but gcc cannot figure it
out. We could extend the check above to (len && data) but it's just for
a compiler problem. I haven't seen this with gcc-12.
