I didn't have either of those patches, so I can try applying them to see
if the build errors go away. But if you don't think they should be
applied, what should I do?

Here's what I did have queued up:

f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and activity")
aa54ea903abb ("ARM: percpu.h: fix build error")
1c9df907da83 ("random: fix circular include dependency on arm64 after addition of percpu.h")
83bdc7275e62 ("random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy gcc plugin")
c0842fbc1b18 ("random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h")

And that caused the builds to blow up.

So, what should I do here?
