Build regressions/improvements in v6.5-rc4

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Fri Aug 11 2023 - 07:19:03 EST


Below is the list of build error/warning regressions/improvements in
v6.5-rc4[1] compared to v6.4[2].

Summarized:
- build errors: +6/-4
- build warnings: +44/-19

JFYI, when comparing v6.5-rc4[1] to v6.5-rc3[3], the summaries are:
- build errors: +0/-1
- build warnings: +1/-0

Note that there may be false regressions, as some logs are incomplete.
Still, they're build errors/warnings.

Happy fixing! ;-)

Thanks to the linux-next team for providing the build service.
