Good point. Adding the DT maintainers to Cc. Guys, any chance of you
picking up Masahiro's patch for 4.5?

It can't hurt to have both patches merged, so it would still be good
to have mine in the serial driver fixes, but we can live with either
of the two to fix the build.

I will if you can update the commit log with the details here about it
fixing an actual problem.

[Masahiro Yamada]

Just for clarification:

The build error was fixed by another patch
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8082931/)

So, this one is unneeded.
