I started following up on this and ran into an issue for these:

Does it not consider being passed as an argument to a function as
being read?

Yes, function arguments are considered being read. The problem is different here: mtod() should be a macro, but the macro declaration was missing (*cough* hacked build process *cough*). So the parser tried to parse this as function call. Then it hit the "void *", which confused it - it got a type while parsing an expression. I improved the error correction, resolved a few other problems, too, and generated a new list:

(The list has a date at the top, if it is missing, you see the old list in your browser cache)

The false positives, which you mentioned, are gone now - thanks for reporting this. The list now contains about 1.000 entries and about 60 concern variables named 'error'.
