While building mxs_defconfig for arm with GCC 8, 9, 10 and 11, the following error was encountered:

   /builds/linux/arch/arm/mach-mxs/mach-mxs.c:285:26: warning: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Wduplicate-decl-specifier]

The same problem is seen withs Clang 10, 11, 12, 13 and nightly:

   /builds/linux/drivers/pwm/pwm-mxs.c:156:10: error: implicit declaration of function 'dev_err_probe' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

   1 error generated.
   make[3]: *** [/builds/linux/scripts/Makefile.build:262: drivers/pwm/pwm-mxs.o] Error 1

This is also seen in other branches (from 4.4 to 5.4). To reproduce this build locally:

   tuxmake \
     --target-arch=arm \
     --kconfig=mxs_defconfig \
     --toolchain=gcc-11 \
     --runtime=podman \
     config default kernel xipkernel modules dtbs dtbs-legacy debugkernel headers

or:

   tuxmake \
     --target-arch=arm \
     --kconfig=mxs_defconfig \
     --toolchain=clang-13 \
     --runtime=podman \
     config default kernel xipkernel modules dtbs dtbs-legacy debugkernel headers

Greetings!
