I don't see that warning here

but I also see the small stack size here: https://godbolt.org/z/Uz5Ruv

gcc definitely inlines the function here but only has one copy of
spi_message and spi_transfer on the stack, while clang inserts
a call to __asan_report_store8_noabort() and has one copy per
inlined call to ltv350qv_write_reg().
