Citation needed. This reproduces with Clang 15 (earliest supported on
x86 now), Clang 19, and GCC 15 for me. Were you missing W=1?

  $ x86_64-linux-gcc --version | head -1
  x86_64-linux-gcc (GCC) 15.1.0

  $ curl -LSso .config https://download.01.org/0day-ci/archive/20250701/202507010218.3O5Ge0Xt-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/config

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux- W=1 olddefconfig arch/x86/coco/sev/core.o
  arch/x86/coco/sev/core.c: In function 'snp_secure_tsc_init':
