Kernel complains about trashed CHS valuse on LBA partitions

Sample hard disk image: https://github.com/joshudson/dossuperfloppy/raw/refs/heads/master/scantests/efi16mb-empty.img.bz2

Kernel output:

 - InitDiskWARNING: using suspect partition Pri:1 FS 0e: with calculated values 255-3-32 instead of 512-0-1.

The warning should be suppressed because the partition type is 0e: which means LBA should be used and the CHS values may be bogus.
