This isn't for stable kernels, it should be dropped from all of your AUTOSEL queues.
Agreed. The second patch that depends on this does fix a (randconfig) build issue in stable kernels as well, but that patch is currently broken,
Fixing randconfig issues isn't important for stable, is it? The target audience for 5.10.74 are people running a kernel between 5.10 and 5.10.73, and those don't suffer from this type of build problem, right?
In general, I think randconfig build testing is useful for validating stable kernels, to help avoid regressions, but there are a number of known randconfig problems that you hit much more frequently than this one, which only breaks once every few hundred kernel builds.
