I don't know how Shiji Yang generated this warning.  The warning doesn't
make sense and I don't see how the patch helps.  I tested with GCC (v12)
and Clang (random from git) and neither one generates a warning.  What's
the point of having all the struct members in a group when struct itself
already forms a group?
