It's not a new warning. It's a new 'note: in expansion of macro' message which 
is
belongs to the old warning from above.
I changed the macros, so obviously it caused change in macro expansion 
backtrace.
The actual warning existed before this patch.

I wasn't very clear. By false positive I meant that it is kbuild robot's false 
positive.
The warning itself is not a false positive, but it's an old warning, it's not 
introduced by this patch.

It seems that kbuild robot treats 'note: in expansion of macro' message as a 
new warning,
but such messages are not warnings by itself. I think, that kbuild robot should 
just ignore
new 'note: in expansion of macro' messages unless these messages preceded by a 
new 'warning:' message.
