I see the fix made it into linux-next on the same day, but the build bots still
report the warning for mainline kernels and now also for stable kernels
that got a backport of the patch that introduced it on arm64.

I assume you had not planned to send it for mainline, any chance you
could change that and send it as a bugfix with a 'Cc:
stable@vger.kernel.org' tag to restore a clean build?
