If this is a bug in coverity, we should fix coverity, not add extra
code to U-Boot, even if it is just one instruction. That simply stinks
the same way like when systemd crashed when "debug" parameter was
present in /proc/cmdline, and they sent a patch to kernel which removed
the "debug" parameter, instead of fixing systemd. IMO.
