Sparse generates more false positives than good warnings lately :( We'd have to add some extra info like "Note that sparse is known to generate false-positive warnings, if you think that the warning generated with C=1 is bogus, ignore it and note that fact in the commit message". I don't like documenting things which aren't clear-cut :( I'm pretty sure you have pure W=1 warnings here, too.
