Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

TLDR:
1. Now all this kind of warning in tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/ 
were reported and discussed except this one.
2. We might not do scanning and check reports on 
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/ in the future, because some 
contributors want the progs to stay as close as possible to the way they 
were written.
