I retested on top of that patch and found a couple of other warnings show up
in an allmodconfig build with PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES:

lib/zstd/decompress.c: In function 'ZSTD_decompressStream':
lib/zstd/decompress.c:416:2: error: argument 1 null where non-null
expected [-Werror=nonnull]
drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_algs.c: In function 'qat_alg_do_precomputes':
drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/qat_algs.c:156:7: error: argument 1

drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/message.c: In function 'mixer_notify_update':
drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/message.c:11162:54: error: array subscript

drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/message.c:11163:54: error: array subscript

     ((CAPI_MSG *) msg)->info.facility_req.structs[2] =

     ((CAPI_MSG *) msg)->info.facility_req.structs[3] = 0;

All those are nonsense AFAICT, and we see them only because the "if()" override
ends up confusing gcc's value-range tracking in the same way it used to cause
lots of -Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings (which we just disable these days
with PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).
