Verified from downloading mbox.gz from lore that the tarball was
reordered. Dont know if it contributed - but now compiling patch by
patch on the latest net-next tip.

Never mind - someone pointed me to patch work and i can see some
warnings there. Looks like we need more build types and compiler
options to catch some of these issues.
We'll look into it and we will replicate in our cicd.

patch-by-patch W=1 C=1 should be good enough to catch the problems.

Thanks - this helps. We didnt pay good attention to
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst
Only thing that is missing now is the mention of C=1 in the doc. Patch
to the doc acceptable?
Also a note about false positives in sparse output (there were a few
in the warnings from the bot) would be apropos.

cheers,
