When building kernel with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, LLVM stack generates separate sections for compound literals, just like in case with enabled LTO [0]:
ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o): (.data..compoundliteral.14) is being placed in '.data..compoundliteral.14' ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o): (.data..compoundliteral.15) is being placed in '.data..compoundliteral.15' ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o): (.data..compoundliteral.16) is being placed in '.data..compoundliteral.16' ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o): (.data..compoundliteral.17) is being placed in '.data..compoundliteral.17'
[...]
Handle this by adding the related sections to generic definitions as suggested by Sami [0].
