Hello,
I am working on assembling kernel 5.4 with LLVM's integrated assembler on ChromeOS, and the following patch is required to make it work. Would you please consider backporting it to 5.4?

crypto: x86/crc32c - fix building with clang iasLink: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
It does not apply cleanly, can you please provide a properly backported and tested version?
Hi Jian, Thanks for proactively identifying and requesting a backport of 44623b2818. We'll need it for Android as well soon.
One thing I do when requesting backports from stable is I checkout the branch of the stable tree and see if the patch cherry picks cleanly.
btw, an easy way to get an idea of possible dependencies is to look at the dependency repo :) For this commit on 5.4:
