Hi Sudip,
Thanks for the report.  Please help review+test:
https://lore.kernel.org/llvm/20221004232359.285685-1-nathan@xxxxxxxxxx/.

For future reports, please take the time to review:
1. Our issue tracker. Nathan had a bug filed about this yesterday.
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1729
2. The mailing list archives on lore: https://lore.kernel.org/llvm/ If
you search for -Wsometimes-uninitialized you'll see Nathan's
report/patch as well as reports from KernelCI.

I'll take more reports over no reports, but if we already have an open
report, please take the time to participate in the existing threads
rather than create new ones.  That way, if an issue needs a discussion
to resolve, it happens in one thread and not across multiple.
