Is the problem you're referring to the result of a build done
in the midst of a bisect?

The fix for this build error is currently present in the
torvalds/linux.git master branch:
    6fcd42242ebc soc: qcom: ipa: kill IPA_RX_BUFFER_ORDER

I may be mistaken, but I believe this is the same problem I discussed
with Maxim Kuvyrkov this morning.  A different build problem led to
an automated bisect, which conluded this was the cause because it
landed somewhere between the initial pull of the IPA code and the fix
I reference above.
