Thx, I've posted a fix.

This seems like a false warning. Its a register variable and thus can't
possibly be initialized.

static inline __attribute_const__ struct thread_info
*current_thread_info(void)
{
    register unsigned long sp asm("sp");
    return (struct thread_info *)(sp & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1));
}
