Maybe I just couldn't come up with a decent test case for ipv4 yet.
syzkaller generated the equivalent of the following program for ipv6:

=======================================
#define _GNU_SOURCE

#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <error.h>

int main()
{
int sock = socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW);
struct sockaddr_in6 dest_addr;
memset(&dest_addr, 0, sizeof(dest_addr));
dest_addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6;
inet_pton(AF_INET6, "ff00::", &dest_addr.sin6_addr);
int err = sendto(sock, 0, 0, 0, &dest_addr, sizeof(dest_addr));
if (err == -1)
perror("sendto");
return 0;
}
=======================================

I attempted to replace INET6 and such with INET and provide a legal
IPv4 address to inet_pton(), but couldn't trigger the warning.
