While building mxs_defconfig for arm with GCC 8, 9, 10 and 11, the following error was encountered:

   /builds/linux/arch/arm/mach-mxs/mach-mxs.c:285:26: warning: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]
     285 | static const struct gpio const tx28_gpios[] __initconst = {
         |                          ^~~~~
   /builds/linux/drivers/pwm/pwm-mxs.c: In function 'mxs_pwm_probe':
   /builds/linux/drivers/pwm/pwm-mxs.c:164:24: error: implicit declaration of function 'dev_err_probe'; did you mean 'device_reprobe'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     164 |                 return dev_err_probe(&pdev->dev, ret, "failed to reset PWM\n");
         |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
         |                        device_reprobe
   cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
   make[3]: *** [/builds/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:280: drivers/pwm/pwm-mxs.o] Error 1

This is also seen in other branches (from 4.4 to 5.4). To reproduce this build locally:

   tuxmake \
     --target-arch=arm \
     --kconfig=mxs_defconfig \
     --toolchain=gcc-11 \
     --runtime=podman \
     config default kernel xipkernel modules dtbs dtbs-legacy debugkernel headers

Greetings!
