I don't know. I haven't tried to build 6.1.26 with gcc13. The commit message for the patch in Linus' tree says that this
is a new warning in gcc13.  The kernel build system configures gcc to treat warnings as errors so, with gcc13, the build
failed and I reported the failure in the initial email of this thread. Looking at that patch submission
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221213225208.3343692-2-Jason@zx2c4.com/), it appears not to have been tagged for or
copied to stable.

Once I'd realised that I had reported the problem against the wrong kernel version, I sent my apologetic email and sent
a new email reporting the problem against 6.1.27. In response to that (I assume), you've queued the patch for 6.1 stable
and for 5.15 and 5.10, so everything seems to be in order.
