Yes, they are valid. Meanwhile, running sparse locally, I found the 
following, which are also reported at 19/19 patch:
arch/riscv/kernel/signal.c:78:13: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)                                                                                                                                                                              
arch/riscv/kernel/signal.c:80:18: warning: cast removes address space '__user' of expression
arch/riscv/kernel/signal.c:92:16: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
arch/riscv/kernel/signal.c:114:51: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)

And these need to be fixed, while not found by your sparse:
arch/riscv/kernel/vector.c:81:28: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
arch/riscv/kernel/vector.c:81:28:    expected unsigned int [noderef] [usertype] __user *epc
arch/riscv/kernel/vector.c:81:28:    got unsigned int [usertype] *

However, there is no way to get around signal.c:92 though. The copying of
__user pointer to a __user address should be valid.

+static long save_v_state(struct pt_regs *regs, void **sc_vec)
+{
...
+	/* Copy the pointer datap itself. */
+	err |= __put_user(datap, &state->v_state.datap); 
...

Thanks,
