I didn't notice earlier, but we now seem to have a mirrored version of the build problem described for 6.6.145-rc2 ([1]) earlier:
from: https://github.com/linux-ia64/linux-stable-rc/actions/runs/30608172560/job/9... ``` drivers/cpufreq/ia64-acpi-cpufreq.c:327:27: error: initialization of 'int (*)(struct cpufreq_policy *)' from incompatible pointer type 'void (*)(struct cpufreq_policy *)' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] 327 | .exit = acpi_cpufreq_cpu_exit, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/cpufreq/ia64-acpi-cpufreq.c:327:27: note: (near initialization for 'acpi_cpufreq_driver.exit') make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: drivers/cpufreq/ia64-acpi-cpufreq.o] Error 1 make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:480: drivers/cpufreq] Error 2 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... ```

Looking into the released 6.6.145 ([2]) the patch "cpufreq: Make cpufreq_driver->exit() return void" ([3]) that created the original problem for the ia64 buld in 6.6.145-rc1 and -rc2 was gone in the released 6.6.145.

[3]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
Hence the patch which replays that change also for ia64 needs to go now, too.
Short of an upstream commit for this patch, I can only point you to the patch in:
* linux-stable-rc:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git/c...
* stable:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=l...
* stable-queue:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/comm...
..., you decide what you prefer. HTH.
Cheers, Frank
P.S. Would the patch from us have been dropped automatically with [3] if ours had contained a `Fixes: b4b1ddc9dfe997a5f492fa3a36487f8e7a5de30d ("cpufreq: Make cpufreq_driver->exit() return void")` tag maybe?
