The version in your branch is not the same as the version in tip (which
had a squashed build fix). I was able to reproduce the build error with
your branch. But not with the one in tip rebased on v6.5-rc1. So can
you try this version:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?h=x86/shstk&id=899223d69ce9f338056f4c41ef870d70040fc860
