Yes, it's indeed a compiler problem. In the middle of the function, we
have control flow like this:

  if (Task == NULL) {
    for (Retry = 0; Retry < AHCI_COMMAND_RETRIES; Retry++) {
      Status = AhciStartCommand (...);
    }
  } else {
    if (!Task->IsStart) {
      Status = AhciStartCommand (...);
    }
    if (Task->IsStart) {
      Status = AhciCheckFisReceived (...);
    }
  }

There is no path through this without setting "Status", so the
subsequent warning is indeed unjustified.

Also correct: NameSize is only read if (Name != NULL), but in that case,
NameSize is also set. And Name does not change between the two checks.
