On the clang front, I am still seeing the following warning turned error
for arm64 allmodconfig at least:

drivers/gpu/host1x/dev.c:520:6: error: variable 'syncpt_irq' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
if (syncpt_irq < 0)
^~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/host1x/dev.c:490:16: note: initialize the variable 'syncpt_irq' to silence this warning
int syncpt_irq;
^
= 0
1 error generated.

There is an obvious fix that has been available on the mailing list for
some time:

https://lore.kernel.org/20230127221418.2522612-1-arnd@kernel.org/

It appears there was some sort of process snafu, since the fix never got
applied to the drm tree before the main pull for 6.3 and I have not been
able to get anyone to apply it to a tree targeting -rc releases.

https://lore.kernel.org/Y%2FeULFO4jbivQ679@dev-arch.thelio-3990X/
https://lore.kernel.org/67f9fe7f-392a-9acd-1a4d-0a43da634367@nvidia.com/

If that does not come to you through other means before -rc4, could you
just apply it directly so that I can stop applying it to our CI? :)

Cheers,
