Looks like the build considers -Wincompatible-pointer-types to always
imply -Werror or some such? We explicitly disable CONFIG_WERROR in our
CI, but we still get:

drivers/net/macvlan.c:1302:34: error: incompatible pointer types passing 'struct sockaddr *' to parameter of type 'struct __kernel_sockaddr_storage *' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
 1302 |                 dev_set_mac_address(port->dev, &sa, NULL);
      |                                                ^~~
