This is probably related to

538b9265c063 ARM: unwind: track location of LR value in stack frame

which removes a kernel_text_address() check on frame->pc as it is
essentially redundant, given that we won't find unwind data otherwise.
Unfortunately, I failed to realise that the other check carries a
pr_warn(), which may apparently fire spuriously in some cases.

The 0x0 value can easily be filtered out, but i would be interesting
where the other value originates from. We might be able to solve this
with a simple .nounwind directive in a asm routine somewhere.

I'll prepare a patch that disregards the 0x0 value - could you check
in the mean time what the address 0xcf0c440 coincides with in your
build?
