Posted https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1465623/ that should solve
this issue and others reported by the kernel test robot.

I've tested that with this patch, the option it's correctly enabled for
x86, arm64 and riscv while not enabled on the problematic architectures.

This should be merged in drm-misc-next as well. Sorry for missing before
that would cause issues on some architectures.
