With addition to the previous report on the stable-rc 6.15.8-rc1 review
While building allyesconfig build for arm64 and x86 with the toolchain
clang-nightly version 22.0.0 the following build warnings / errors
noticed on the stable-rc 6.12.40-rc1 review.

Regression Analysis:
- New regression? Yes
- Reproducibility? Yes

Build regression: arm64 x86 kcsan_test.c error variable 'dummy' is
uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here
