Apologies if this has been reported already or has a solution in
progress but mainline is now broken because this change got separated
from the change it is fixing:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration2/actions/runs/4249931209/jobs/7391912774
https://storage.tuxsuite.com/public/clangbuiltlinux/continuous-integration2/builds/2M7y9HpiXB13qiC2mkHMyeZOcLW/build.log

I see this change sitting in the drm-tegra tree [1], which is getting
merged into -next, so it is fixed there, which is why we did not notice
any issues until the drm-next tree was merged into mainline. Can this be
fast tracked to Linus to unbreak clang builds with -Werror?

Cheers,
