Nothing non-standard here, just trying to build the latest kernel 5.6.11 with #
Compiler: gcc (GCC) 10.0.1 20200430 (Red Hat 10.0.1-0.14)

I agree that there is in fact no error here as the nr_pages_avail is set before
it is used to increment start_gfn, or at any rate one can infer that it might
be set by the procedure call that passes it by reference. Nonetheless it is
more than just annoying when this breaks my build. Either change the default
setting and disable werror for this module or make the uneccessary assignment
just for my pleasure.
