Interesting, I confirm that also gcc 12 does not warns/error.
This is my version:

     $ gcc --version
     gcc (GCC) 12.1.1 20220507 (Red Hat 12.1.1-1)

Yep, that was the fix and I already re-sent a new series with the patch
fixed:
https://lore.kernel.org/virtualization/20220811083632.77525-1-sgarzare@redhat.com/T/#t

Michael already queued the new version in his tree:
