We did test new kernels with W=1, and the issue was captured by the
bot, then bisected to this 2 years 7 months ago commit that was likely
to introduce this issue initially. We have no intention of directly
testing a very old commit, and we're sorry that the date info may
cause some misunderstanding.

This can be reproduced by allyesconfig build on v6.6 with W=1:

$ git checkout v6.6
HEAD is now at ffc253263a13 Linux 6.6

$ make ARCH=x86_64 allyesconfig

$ make W=1 ARCH=x86_64 drivers/comedi/drivers/tests/ni_routes_test.o
...
