After several hours of debugging this obviously bogus but elaborate
gcc-7.0.1 warning,
drivers/staging/vc04_services/interface/vchiq_arm/vchiq_2835_arm.c: In function 'vchiq_complete_bulk':

I have concluded that gcc was technically right in the first place:
vchiq_complete_bulk is an externally visible function that calls
free_pagelist(), which in turn derives a pointer from the global
g_fragments_base variable.
g_fragments_base is initialized in vchiq_platform_init(), but
we only get there if of_property_read_u32() successfully reads the
cache line size. When CONFIG_OF is disabled, this always fails, and
g_fragments_base is guaranteed to be NULL when vchiq_complete_bulk()
gets called.
This adds a CONFIG_OF Kconfig dependency, which is also technically correct
but nonobvious, and thus seems like a good fit for the warning.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
