This is something that would be caught by running 'make C=1' with 'sparse'
on your patch. Can you try that to see if you introduce any other warnings?

I'm guessing it's fine, but it would be nice to confirm. I also send a lot
of patches without running sparse and checkpatch first, but it's generally
a good idea.
