Sorry to bother you. I just thought you might be interested in this
one, as it fixes build for "allmodconfig" configuration, hence it can
be related to stable branch. Also, maintainers didn't respond to that
patch, so I'm kinda dead in the water.

Anyway, will try to ping maintainers one more time.
