Well, yes but that would imply both LLCC and EDAC patches going together.
Splitting them will break the build, which is worse.

So I delibrately avoided CCing stable list. I'll ping them once both patches
are in mainline.

No. The actual breakage happened with, a6e9d7ef252c ("soc: qcom: llcc: Add
configuration data for SM8450 SoC"). I didn't add the fixes tag because, the
stable team might backport this patch automatically. And since the tag is not
present in the LLCC patch, it will break the build.

Sorry, it is because I only tried building for ARM64 architecture. The error
you are seeing is for x86-64 and I could now reproduce it as well.

Will submit the next iteration including a fix for that.
