It seems there is a build error for imx_v6_v7_defconfig.

Link: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/12980252/
Error:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `vblank_disable_and_save':
imx-ocotp.c:(.text+0xb45e8): undefined reference to `__bad_cmpxchg'
Makefile:986: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed

This seems to be caused by something from drm:
commit 43dc7fe2b211 ("drm: Mark up accesses of vblank->enabled outside of its spinlock")

It introduces a cmpxchg on a bool which is apparently not supported on
ARM v6 (it only supports 32-bit values). The error looks legit to me
(not caused by an infrastructure bug).

It seems the kbuild test robot also found a similar breakage on tilegx:
