strange... my compiler (4.8.4) and huawei internal CI don't report that,
and this patchset has been in Chao's tree for a while, I don't get any report so far...

I just looked into that code again and it seems a false warning since
1) this code is heavily running on the products and working fine till now.
2) pblk gets a proper value before unzip_vle.c:1690 map->m_pa = blknr_to_addr(pblk);

so I think I need to silence this warning for now and check if there is a really issue....

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
