Indeed, it's also strange to me, the compiler using gcc-11.3.0 which is
generated by yocto 4.2.2(mickledore branch).

The warning happens on turn on DEBUG_BUILD flag in yocto configuration,
but when disable the DEBUG_BUILD flag, this

warning disappeared.

I have compared w/wo the DEBUG_BUILD's kernel build parameters this
morning, when enabled the flag, the kernel build

parameters as normal, the warning won't happen. When I enabled the
DEBUG_BUILD, the cflags with -Og -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types

seems the debug cflags caused the false warning behavior.
