That was a year ago.  I have trouble remembering emails I sent
yesterday.

Yes.  Renaming the function will make it show up as a new warning.  Also
this is an email from the kbuild-bot and last years email was from me,
so it's a different tool and a different record of sent messages.

(IMO, you should really just remove the bogus NULL checks because
everyone looking at the warning will think the code is buggy).
