Declaring them this way is nice, but this doesn't actually "fix" anything at all as no code is actually changed.
So how is ths a bugfix? How does this patch do anything?
confused,
Sorry for the confuson.
This commit is to address the issue reported by kernel test rebot[1].

Ok, so this fixes a sparse issue, how is that needed for stable kernels?
Please be more explicit about what you are "fixing" in the changelog please, as-is this didn't make any sense to me.
Please fix up and send a v2.
thanks,
