That's probably good enough here, as the warning is rather obscure
(only one instance in the entire kernel in 1000 randconfig builds),
with an unreleased compiler.

Anyway, I have successfully reduced a test case and reported
a gcc bug for it, see https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81958

The compiler test case is

__attribute__ ((__cold__)) int printk();
struct lpfc_queue {
        int queue_id;
        struct lpfc_queue *hba_eq;
} *cq_phba;
void lpfc_debug_dump_all_queues(unsigned maxidx)
{
        struct lpfc_queue *eq;
        unsigned eqidx;
        printk();
        for (eqidx = 0; eqidx < maxidx; eqidx++) {
                eq = &cq_phba->hba_eq[eqidx];
                if (eq->queue_id)
                        break;
        }
        if (eqidx == maxidx)
                eq = &cq_phba->hba_eq[0];
        printk(eq);
}

and I see no reason why the compiler should get this wrong.

I have also come up with a different workaround of my own
(sorry for the broken formatting here) and tested it successfully
over night. I have definitely spent more time on it than it was
worth now. Let me know if you prefer that version over yours,
then I'll submit that as a proper patch with your Ack.
