No, please don't. This is a compiler bug.
The first use in that function is:
XGI_SearchModeID( ModeNo , &ModeIdIndex, pVBInfo );
and that function contains:
if (XYZ) {
for( *ModeIdIndex = 0 ; ; ( *ModeIdIndex )++ )
...
} else {
for( *ModeIdIndex = 0 ; ; ( *ModeIdIndex )++ )
...
}
So your compiler is foolish if that emits a warning.

The same here.
