I just tried to build the .config from below against a 'quite recent' linux-next.
If fails for a couple of unrelated reasons - I edited the config to fix them.
But there isn't a divide in exfat_set_vol_flags().
I can't see one in the source either.
The usual 'next stage' is to disassemble the .o file and work out which
source line is responsible.
