SRSO mitigations are probably not in the slightest bit relevant for me,
but I didn't get a chance to retest the previous stable release after
the build got unbricked for RISC-V, so:
Tested-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

Fix for the build issue I saw should be on it's way to Linus today, so
I guess the original fix you were backporting & its fix should end up
back in your queue soonTM.

Thanks,
Conor.
