This patch was already in 6.12.24, and it is now twice in 6.12.y.

3802df8552de kbuild: Add '-fno-builtin-wcslen'
9c03f6194e88 kbuild: Add '-fno-builtin-wcslen'

and

$ grep fno-builtin-wcslen Makefile
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -fno-builtin-wcslen
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -fno-builtin-wcslen

This is the second time this happened in the 6.12 series. The other sequence is

61749c035911 Revert "vfio/platform: check the bounds of read/write syscalls"
61ba518195d6 vfio/platform: check the bounds of read/write syscalls
a20fcaa230f7 vfio/platform: check the bounds of read/write syscalls

Would it be possible to avoid those duplicates ? It doesn't matter in
the above cases, but we might not always be that lucky.

Thanks,
Guenter
