I'm going to drop this for now. The kernel compiled with a clang 19.1.5
version I have around (Debian sid) fails to boot, gets stuck early on:

$ clang --version
Debian clang version 19.1.5 (1)
Target: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/lib/llvm-19/bin

I didn't have time to investigate, disassemble etc. I'll have a look
next week.
