It would be nice if this warning can be seen in all the cases without doing anything extra. But
sometimes I do not see it.

I compiled sound/pci/mixart/mixart_hwdep.c - did "make modules".

It has the following code but I did not get any warnings.

static int mixart_enum_connectors(struct mixart_mgr *mgr)
{
        u32 k;
        int err;
        struct mixart_msg request;
        struct mixart_enum_connector_resp *connector;
        struct mixart_audio_info_req  *audio_info_req;
        struct mixart_audio_info_resp *audio_info;

        connector = kmalloc(sizeof(*connector), GFP_KERNEL);
        audio_info_req = kmalloc(sizeof(*audio_info_req), GFP_KERNEL);
        audio_info = kmalloc(sizeof(*audio_info), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (! connector || ! audio_info_req || ! audio_info) {
                err = -ENOMEM;
                goto __error;
        }
