Report on our issue tracker with discussion:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1551

Ard has a fix that should resolve this here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211222104939.1154570-1-ardb@xxxxxxxxxx/

I am about to reply with a Tested-by tag, I have tested LLVM 12 and 13
and my 14 build is running right now. Might be helpful for you to run
that patch through your matrix as well.

Cheers,
Nathan
