I think you can ignore this one, it's a preexisting issue with this
driver that gets uncovered by your patch: if "fifocount" is read from
a broken device as 0xff, the loop causes a buffer overflow.

The code is already unreachable because the interrupt handler
will have aborted already, so the compiler's dead code elimination
should have shut up that warning, but adding a range check
before the loop would address this as well.

As far as I can tell, this warning only shows up when building with
"make W=1".
