For what it's worth, I don't see this with allyesconfig.

The offending commit was added in 5.7-rc1; we shouldn't need to
Cc stable since this should be picked up as an -rc fix.

Not to split hairs but this is Ilie's diff, he should probably be the
author with Sedat's Reported-by/Tested-by.

But eh, it's all a team effort plus that can only happen with Ilie's
explicit consent for a Signed-off-by.

I am currently doing a set of builds with clang-11 with this patch on
top of 5.7-rc4 to make sure that all of the cases I have found work.
Once that is done, I'll comment back with a tag.
