Something in CI really, really doesn't like this patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-riscv/patch/20230323123924.3032174-1-suagrfillet@gmail.com/

The CI stuff applies the patch, builds the tree, resets to HEAD~1,
builds it again, goes back to the applied patch and builds a third time.
Builds 2 and 3 are incremental.
In theory the same stuff should change between applying and removing the
patch, and therefore each of builds 2 and 3 should have the same coverage,
but that doesn't seem to be happening here.
Build 2 looks to have rebuilt almost nothing and build 3 has rebuilt the
world.
I'm gonna chalk that one down as a CI issue rather than your patch!

That said, I was wondering if you would end up submitting this patch,
given the discussion on your last one ;)

Looks to be the same as was done for arm64, so fwiw:
