So this has absolutely nothing to do with the:

"platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix bitwise vs. logical warning"

commit, the problem is that:

1. the .config does not have CONFIG_PROC_FS set; combined with:
2. include/linux/proc_fs.h using a #define instead of a
   static inline for proc_create_data() when this is the case
3. This is a clang WERROR build

The thinkpad_acpi code cannot really function without procfs
support anyways (it will error out on probe if proc_create_data()
returns NULL) so I will shortly submit a fix adding a
depends on PROC_FS to fix this.

I must say that as a maintainer I'm unhappy about the amount
of noise being generated by clang WERROR builds here though,
is it really necessary for the kernel test robot to do builds
of this type ?

Regards,

Hans
