Do we need this to fix a warning in mainline, in linux-next, or only
in combination with some other patches?

I have not run into this warning in my build testing.

Can you pick up the patch in your git tree and send a pull request for
the appropriate release (4.12-fixes or 4.13)?

If you don't expect to send anything else for tee in that release,
you can also forward the patch to arm@xxxxxxxxxx and ask for
inclusion. If you just reply with the 'Reviewed-by', I would not
expect to have to do anything in the arm-soc tree.
