I think the ARM64 build is now also broken on Linus' master branch,

patches were supposed to land in mainline the way they did.

There's a fix in my net tree and it will go to Linus soon.

There is no clear policy for dt change integration, and honestly
I try to deal with the situation on a case by case basis.

Yep, mainline aarch64-linux-gnu- builds are totally hosed. DTC fails the build
very early on:

There was no failure in -next, not sure how we skipped our canary in the coal
mine.

Yes, one of the things linux-next does a really good job at catching is
build breakage so it would've been nice to have seen this there rather
than end up with breakage in Linus' tree :(

Was the timing just bad, or are we missing DT coverage or something else?

It seems issue was not caught in -next because the patch that fixes the issue was already in -next
before this series was pushed.

Sorry for the mess again.
