The following patch should fix the build error.


index 2ab668461463..f68bc373544a 100644
--- a/include/net/drop_monitor.h
+++ b/include/net/drop_monitor.h
@@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ struct net_dm_hw_metadata {
        struct net_device *input_dev;
 };

-#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR)
+#if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR)
 void net_dm_hw_report(struct sk_buff *skb,
                      const struct net_dm_hw_metadata *hw_metadata);
 #else




I will propose this fix-up in the net ML.
