Thank you! Much appreciated.

So, the vanilla kernel does not have headers arranged like this custom tree
that Damien maintains for his own needs, per:

- https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc7/source/include/linux/pci-epc.h
- https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc7/source/include/linux/pci-epf.h

I suppose, there are some changes that break it for you, for example:

https://github.com/damien-lemoal/linux/commit/c7aa8ddd76a141b975a097532050a76c6a58c436

So, I cannot take this patch as it would break vanilla kernel for us. :)

Try building using vanilla kernel, and see if that helps.
