-Wstringop-overread in drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c

[nathanchance]

After LLVM commit 86f2e71cb8d1 ("[Clang][Sema] Add -Wstringop-overread warning for source buffer overreads (#183004)", 2026-06-22), there is an instance of -Wstringop-overread in drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_hwi.c visible under two different conditions.

The first is in kernels prior to commit 239d87327dcd ("fortify: Hide run-time copy size from value range tracking") (i.e., 6.12 and earlier) when CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE is enabled.

This is not visible after the aforementioned change because the frontend cannot see the size of the structure anymore.

The second is architectures that define memcpy as __builtin_memcpy when CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE is unset, such as i386 and sparc, which can still be seen in mainline.

Not sure if there is any way to silence this outside of the __diag infrastructure or $(call cc-disable-warning, stringop-overread).
