Oh, and in case you wonder what the warning actually is about -
because some smatch warnings *are* worth looking at - that "ignoring
unreachable code" is generally things like case statements that have
all cases handled and no "break;" in any of the cases, and then
there's a "return" afterwards anyway.

It can be a sign of some logic error, though, so building smatch and
looking at what it reports could certainly be worthwhile. But no, a
smatch failure is very much not a fatal issue.
