I applied ad7f402ae4f4 to 5.15.y and 5.4.y and it broke networking
with my driver domains.  The frontend failed to DHCP an address and it
didn't look like any packets were getting through.  This patch fixed
networking with 5.15.y and 5.4.y.

I think the commit message is worth expanding that this is more than
just a build warning.

Thanks,
Jason
