Just want to confirm that linux-mainline and linux-next builds are
broken for my ARM64 board as well, because of the commit you
pin-pointed. I vote for reverting it and letting the author rework it
properly. On a side note: I'm surprised there are no bots or automatic
CI builds out there testing the kernel builds with baremetal
toolchains. Can't believe everyone's using Linux toolchain, the kernel
is supposed to be baremetal project.
