The RISC-V build fails with:

arch/riscv/kernel/cpu.c: In function 'riscv_of_processor_hartid':
arch/riscv/kernel/cpu.c:24:33: error: implicit declaration of function 'of_get_cpu_hwid'; did you mean 'of_get_cpu_node'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

      |                                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                                 of_get_cpu_node
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

The function of_get_cpu_hwid() doesn't exist in Linux 5.15.x. It was introduced in 5.16-rc1. The following patches should be reverted:

87b94f8227b3b654ea6e7670cefb32dab0e570ed RISC-V: Don't fail in riscv_of_parent_hartid() for disabled HARTs

568d34c6aafa066bbdb5e7b6aed9c492d81964e8 RISC-V: Don't print details of CPUs disabled in DT

And the stable-dep-of patches for the above should also be reverted since they cause warnings:

989694ece94da2bbae6c6f3f044994302f923cc8 riscv: cpu: Add 64bit hartid support on RV64

8c2544fd913bb7b29ee3af79e0b302036689fe7a RISC-V: Minimal parser for "riscv, isa" strings
