Hello Andrew,

cppcheck warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>)

Other way to avoid this warning is by creating another local variable

Ohh, thanks for the clarification! I thought this was a gcc feature.
Then I would suggest to report a bug report against the static checker
rather than making any changes to the kernel to workaround it.
Hi all,
Sorry for the inconvenience, we have added the warning to ignore list

Best Regards,
