Build test (gcc version 12.2.1 20220819):
mips: 59 configs -> 1 failure
arm: 99 configs -> no failure
arm64: 3 configs -> no failure
x86_64: 4 configs -> no failure
alpha allmodconfig -> no failure
csky allmodconfig -> fails
powerpc allmodconfig -> fais
riscv allmodconfig -> no failure
s390 allmodconfig -> no failure
xtensa allmodconfig -> no failure

Note:
csky and mips allmodconfig fails with gcc-12, passes with gcc-11.
Already reported for mainline.

powerpc failure is not seen in mainline. Same error as csky and mips.

I am bisecting now to find out what caused it.

Boot test:
x86_64: Booted on my test laptop. No regression.
x86_64: Booted on qemu. No regression. [1]
mips: Booted on ci20 board. No regression. [2]
