A new warning in Clang 22 [1] complains that @clidr passed to get_clidr_el1() is an uninitialized const pointer. get_clidr_el1() doesn't really care since it casts away the const-ness anyways -- it is a false positive.
This patch isn't needed for anything past 6.1 as this code section was reworked in Commit 7af0c2534f4c ("KVM: arm64: Normalize cache configuration") which incidentally removed the aforementioned warning. Since there is no upstream equivalent, this patch just needs to be applied to 6.1.
Disable this warning for sys_regs.o instead of backporting the patches from 6.2+ that modified this code area.
