This is an early report, build is still going on.

Building powerpc:defconfig ... failed
Building powerpc:allmodconfig ... failed

drivers/misc/cxl/pci.c: In function 'cxl_reset':
drivers/misc/cxl/pci.c:784:7: error: 'i' undeclared (first use in this function)
for (i = 0; i < adapter->slices; i++)

Culprit is 'cxl: Remove racy attempt to force EEH invocation in reset'.
The build passes after reverting this commit.

I had reported the same problem earlier against 4.2. Feedback was that
4e1efb403c1c ("cxl: Don't remove AFUs/vPHBs in cxl_reset")
was also needed. Unfortunately, that patch does not apply cleanly to 4.1,
so some backport or an additional patch may be needed.

Copying Daniel for additional input.
