Indeed - and my CI build should have caught this warning. I will look into what
it's missing so this would be called out as an error.

And for this patch, I would prefer to roll this into the original. There is no
point in introducing warnings into Linus' kernel. We try not to rebase for-next,
but it happens everyday, so it isn't a huge deal for Stephen to deal with.

Will you squash it, or shall I?
