I'm not very keen about that. Calling a function with all parameters 
NULL doesn't make much sense and is clearly a coding error. Hiding that 
somehow doesn't help but rather makes things worse.

The only execption to that are things like kfree() or *_put() which work 
with the lifetime of objects.

Why is the static checker complaining about that in the first place?

Christian.
