This is, of course, wrong. Your *first* patch is introducing those
warnings and I'm wondering how did you not see them during building?
In file included from arch/x86/realmode/init.c:11:
./arch/x86/include/asm/crash.h:5:32: warning: ‘struct kimage’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
5 | int crash_load_segments(struct kimage *image);
| ^~~~~~
./arch/x86/include/asm/crash.h:6:37: warning: ‘struct kimage’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
6 | int crash_copy_backup_region(struct kimage *image);
| ^~~~~~
./arch/x86/include/asm/crash.h:7:39: warning: ‘struct kimage’ declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
7 | int crash_setup_memmap_entries(struct kimage *image,
|
And that happens because you've included asm/crash.h in
arch/x86/realmode/init.c and it of course complains because it hasn't
seen that struct yet.
