Ah, there are not meant to be return forms of the and/or/xor operations, so
we're pointlessly building code that cannot be used (but this is not otherwise
harmful).

That said, I think this is nothing to do with commit:

  1bdadf46eff6804a ("locking/atomic: atomic64: support ARCH_ATOMIC")

... and is in fact a latent issue introduced by commit:

  28aa2bda2211f432 ("locking/atomic: Implement atomic{,64,_long}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()")

... where we accidentally left the:

   ATOMIC64_OP_RETURN(op, c_op)

... line for the and/or/xor atomics, even though that wasn't necessary.

This is trivial to avoid, so I'll send a patch shortly.

Thanks,
Mark.
