Hmm. I bisected it twice to
commit 1bebedd653e1bb0440ebf40724c55791c21ad7cc
Merge: a8d5ddf 62fa36a
Author: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>

    Merge remote branch 'md/for-next'


It doesn't make sense at all. How can empty merge cause a regression?
And md/for-next doesn't produce the BUG.

After the 1st bisection I did
 git checkout 1bebedd653e1bb0440ebf40724c55791c21ad7cc
and built it. It crashed. Then I did
 git bisect start 1bebedd origin/stable
where origin is next. And got back to the 1bebedd by bisection.
