Unfortunately this now breaks the build in char-misc-next (commit
0dc3ad3f859d):

net/qrtr/mhi.c: In function 'qcom_mhi_qrtr_probe':
net/qrtr/mhi.c:105:48: error: 'MHI_CH_INBOUND_ALLOC_BUFS' undeclared (first use in this function)
  105 |         rc = mhi_prepare_for_transfer(mhi_dev, MHI_CH_INBOUND_ALLOC_BUFS);
      |                                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/qrtr/mhi.c:105:48: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
net/qrtr/mhi.c:105:14: error: too many arguments to function 'mhi_prepare_for_transfer'
  105 |         rc = mhi_prepare_for_transfer(mhi_dev, MHI_CH_INBOUND_ALLOC_BUFS);
      |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from net/qrtr/mhi.c:6:

  725 | int mhi_prepare_for_transfer(struct mhi_device *mhi_dev);
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To see this error make sure CONFIG_QRTR and CONFIG_QRTR_MHI are enabled.
