I have sparse 0.6.3 on an Debian bullseye amd64 system. Sources are from 
linux-next next-20210723

    make allnoconfig
    cat >> .config << "EOF"
    CONFIG_NET=y
    CONFIG_INET=y
    CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV=y
    CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DAT=y
    EOF
    make olddefconfig
    make CHECK="sparse -Wbitwise-pointer" C=1

I should maybe have made this clearer in the last sentence of the first 
paragraph: "This is also true for pointers to variables with this type when
-Wbitwise-pointer is activated."

Kind regards,
	Sven
