I sent https://lore.kernel.org/20220711174004.3047516-1-nathan@xxxxxxxxxx/
for this a few days ago, it just needs to be picked up.

This is now fixed in -tip so it should be fixed in -next tomorrorow:

In the future, consider CC'ing our mailing list (llvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
for any clang related issues so that we can get them taken care of ASAP,
we have a MAINTAINERS entry for a reason :) thank you for testing with
clang; the more people that use it, hopefully the easier it will be to
get things unbroken.

Cheers,
Nathan
