Looking at the diff stat of the cover-letter,
the rest of this patch series is touching only
Documentation/ and tools/testing/kselftests/.

So, this one is unused by the rest of the changes, isn't it?
Am I missing something?

I just built allmodconfig for arm.

(The 0-day bot tests allmodconfig for most of architectures,
so you may receive error reports anyway.)


With your patch, I got the following:
