NAK. Warnings do not need to be "fixed", then need to be looked at and
then there are two approaches:

1) GCC is wrong => annotate the code
2) GCC is right => fix the code

Your patch does not give us any idea about which case this is, whether
you have analyzed the reason why GCC emitted that warning.

Besides, i dont see such warnings in kernel/module.c with latest GCC.
