Thanks for the report! The reason this does not happen in mainline is
due to commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of
__section(foo) to __section("foo")"), which came as a result of these
issues:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/619
https://llvm.org/pr42950

To keep stable from diverging, it would probably be best to pick
33def8498fdd and fight through whatever conflicts there are. If that is
not a suitable solution, the next best thing would be to remove the
quotes like was done in commit bfafddd8de42 ("include/linux/compiler.h:
fix Oops for Clang-compiled kernels") for all instances of
__section(...) or __attribute__((__section__(...))), which should
resolve the specific problem you are seeing.

In the future, please feel free to cc issues that you see with clang to
llvm@lists.linux.dev so that we can chime in sooner :)

Cheers,
Nathan
