linux-next: build failure in the final build

Hi all,

After merging the tree, today's linux-next build
(arm64 allyesconfig) failed like this:

Presumably caused by commit

c19ac4abbd696 (efi/libstub: Remove obsolete .note.gnu.property workaround)

though I did not verify. I have ignored this for today.

Ah, that commit had an implicit dependency on the previous patch in the series, which wasn't merged:

https://lore.kernel.org/0445b20df50894615ada70abb1e6238f33c78a2e.1786768375.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org

Ard, can you rebase and slip that one underneath?

I've dropped it for now.
