Additionally, this appears to be an issue on mainline, our CI is
starting to roll in with these patches (clang-13 + x86_64 allmodconfig):

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration2/actions/runs/2658541992

https://builds.tuxbuild.com/2Br2Q4juY6VKxbmgzULKe5C3pGq/build.log

I am happy to send a patch if this is correct, unless someone else wants
to.
