What I actually built to get the above error was what is now the
pending-fixes branch in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git but
with the gpio-brgl-fixes tree
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux.git branch
gpio/for-current (commit de5f701724ac1) merged in.

but after removing that commit (and its parent), what I built was commit
  83784b157e44 ("Merge branch 'riscv-soc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/conor/linux.git")
(which is in the pending-fixes branch above) which did not fail.

gcc (Debian 12.2.0-10) 12.2.0

enum gpio_lookup_flags is defined in include/linux/gpio/machine.h which
is not directly included by include/linux/gpio/driver.h or
drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c.
