This patch is in -next and is causing widespread breakage in the
selftests -next on at least arm and arm64 due to:

make --silent --keep-going --jobs=15 O=/build/stage/build-work INSTALL_PATH=/build/stage/build-work/kselftest_install ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabihf- kselftest-install

...

In file included from test-pcmtest-driver.c:10:
../kselftest_harness.h:59:10: fatal error: linux/overflow.h: No such file or directory
59 | #include <linux/overflow.h>
