I checked out v6.7-rc5-2761-gefc11f34e25f
but 'make olddefconfig' worked fine with me.


If this issue occurs only during 'git bisect',
I need full steps to reproduce it because I do not
know what you did before v6.7-rc5-2761-gefc11f34e25f.


$ git checkout <some commit>
$ [ do something ]
$ git v6.7-rc5-2761-gefc11f34e25f
$ make olddefconfig


If I am able to reproduce the issue that way,
maybe I can have more insight.
