Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the ext4 tree

Hi all,

After merging the ext4 tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

Caused by commit

  e14bef2a00b5 ("ext4: limit the maximum folio order")

I have used the ext4 tree from next-20250714 for today.
