Hi Arnd, there's another case in drivers/net/ethernet/i825xx/ether1.c
which will be broken in 5.17, it looks like only RiscPC includes that.
But when I do:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$cross/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- O=build_tmp/ rpc_defconfig

The resulting config is not for ARCH_RPC:

$ grep ARM_ETHER1 build_tmp/.config
$ grep RPC build_tmp/.config
# CONFIG_AF_RXRPC is not set
CONFIG_SUNRPC=y
# CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_XZ_DEC_POWERPC=y
$ grep ACORN build_tmp/.config
# CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION is not set
CONFIG_FONT_ACORN_8x8=y

Is there an extra smidgen of magic I need to produce a working config
here?  Is RPC dead and can we send it off to Valhalla?
