Hi Greg,

Linus had to apply a fixup for this patch. Please ensure that it's in
your patch list:

commit d652d5f1eeeb06046009f4fcb9b4542249526916
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
Date:   Thu Dec 17 09:27:57 2020 -0800

    drm/edid: fix objtool warning in drm_cvt_modes()

It does not appear to have a Fixes tag, so may not have been picked up
by your automated tooling.

Cheers,

  -ilia
