Results from Linaro's test farm.
No regressions on arm64, arm, x86_64, and i386.

NOTE:
1)
Perf: PMU_events_subtest_1 / 2  - fails on all qemu-armv7 and TI x15 devices
These perf failures are also noticed on the mainline / vanilla kernel on 32-bit

2)
Following kernel warning noticed on stable-rc linux-5.4.y with
clang-17 for arm64 defconfig.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4e2a80): Section mismatch in reference from the
 function ks_pcie_probe() to the function .init.text:ks_pcie_add_pcie_port()
The function ks_pcie_probe() references
the function __init ks_pcie_add_pcie_port().
This is often because ks_pcie_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of ks_pcie_add_pcie_port is wrong.
