I can't find the original email anywhere, hrm.

As I received it, this patch is From:monstr@...str.eu and
Signed-off-by:michal.simek@...inx.com, which is unusual.  Probably you
should be adding explicit From: lines to the patch changelogs to
override this.

After the patch, IS_ENABLED is defined before the macros which it uses.
That's not an error (unless someone puts an inlined function in there
before the IS_BUILTIN or IS_MODULE definitions), but it's unusual,
unexpected and illogical.  So,
