I'm not sure what's wrong here? What should I proceed with it
(it seems relating with Alpha architecture? since I didn't notice the sparse warning in x86 and arm)

Z_EROFS_PCLUSTER_TAIL is a pointer with magic value to indicate
the end of opening decompressing chain, whose function is likewise
the function of POISON_POINTER_DELTA and CONFIG_ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE.
