I agree. The proper return value is 0UL, see include/linux/ftrace.h

/* Archs may use other ways for ADDR1 and beyond */
#ifndef ftrace_return_address
# ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
#  define ftrace_return_address(n) __builtin_return_address(n)
# else
#  define ftrace_return_address(n) 0UL
# endif
#endif

This is why we treat zero differently:

#define CALLER_ADDR0 ((unsigned long)ftrace_return_address0)
#define CALLER_ADDR1 ((unsigned long)ftrace_return_address(1))
#define CALLER_ADDR2 ((unsigned long)ftrace_return_address(2))
#define CALLER_ADDR3 ((unsigned long)ftrace_return_address(3))
#define CALLER_ADDR4 ((unsigned long)ftrace_return_address(4))
#define CALLER_ADDR5 ((unsigned long)ftrace_return_address(5))
#define CALLER_ADDR6 ((unsigned long)ftrace_return_address(6))
