Subject: wrong gcc warning within arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c

I'm wondering whether this is an example of a wrong gcc warning or not :

...
  CC      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.o
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c: In function 'init_intel_cacheinfo':
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:366: warning: 'this_leaf.size' may be 
used uninitialized in this function
...

-- 
MfG/Sincerely
