Well, is it worth working around this in Linus's tree? I know you hate
taking patches just for stable but this compiler won't be used on 4.14+
according to [1] and support for it is planned to be discontinued in
less than a year [2]. This warning doesn't happen with Clang or newer
versions of GCC (I tested 6.3 in a Debian Docker image, which seems to
be the oldest I can find). I suppose there could be other buggy/ancient
compilers to work around...

I am happy to send a patch regardless of where it goes, just want to be
sure we are all on the same page.
