I've merged it into next/soc now, since that branch originally
introduced the bug, which now prevents 'allmodconfig' from building.

I had to another oneline change to the patch, see below. This has
no functional impact, but just avoids a few "unused function" warnings
when building with both v6 and v7 enabled. Previously some of the
functions were shared between v5 and v6 code, but the v6 version
is removed now.
