Since the dma_set_mask/ dma_set_coherent_mask was also in the error list, can I
consider it as a false positive warning?

Besides, I followed the reproducing instructions and got:
# nm build_dir/vmlinux |grep dma_addressing_limited
ffffffff81b2a974 r __crc_dma_addressing_limited
ffffffff8008ac36 T dma_addressing_limited
ffffffff81b330b5 r __kstrtab_dma_addressing_limited
ffffffff81b4e5f2 r __kstrtabns_dma_addressing_limited
ffffffff81b0aec0 r __ksymtab_dma_addressing_limited
Seems dma_addressing_limited is not a local symbol, is it?
