The following build warnings / errors noticed on arm riscv mips with gcc-8 toolchain but gcc-13 build pass for the following configs.
Regression Analysis: - New regression? yes - Reproducibility? yes

Thanks for the report. This should be fixed by my patch here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250828101237.1359212-1-anders.roxell@linaro.o...
