Subject: include/net/ipv6.h:408:38: warning: ‘*((void *)&addr+8)’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Hello, I'm seeing the following compiler warnings. Do these make any
sense? I'm doing a x86-64 build.

/build/linux/net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c: In function ‘tcp_peer_is_proven’:
/build/linux/include/net/ipv6.h:408:38: warning: ‘*((void *)&addr+8)’
may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
/build/linux/net/ipv4/tcp_metrics.c:211:23: note: ‘*((void *)&addr+8)’
was declared here
