I just tried the upstream when the patch was posted. I just have a try with -next
and similar error exists.

[root@nvidia-grace-hopper-01 linux-next]# git remote -v

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Part of the changes included this patch is still needed by -next. Could you please
squeeze the changes to that one to be pulled?
