Notwithstanding the fact that that warning is nonsensical, this patch 
changes valid C code into invalid C code that doesn't even compile:

drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c: In function ‘acpi_iort_dma_get_max_cpu_address’:
drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c:1669:4: error: a label can only be part of a 
statement and a declaration is not a statement
  1669 |    struct acpi_iort_named_component *ncomp;
       |    ^~~~~~
drivers/acpi/arm64/iort.c:1676:4: error: a label can only be part of a 
statement and a declaration is not a statement
  1676 |    struct acpi_iort_root_complex *rc;
       |    ^~~~~~
