We see build regressions on Arm64, as reported by Naresh earlier, and System/390:

-----8<-----
   /builds/linux/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en/params.c: In function 'mlx5e_build_sq_param':

   commit 1288b23c9c528796ab656d2796705f52c5ffad8a
   Author: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>
   Date:   Tue Dec 12 13:52:55 2023 +0200

       net/mlx5e: Allow software parsing when IPsec crypto is enabled
       
       [ Upstream commit 20f5468a7988dedd94a57ba8acd65ebda6a59723 ]


Reverting that commit made the build pass again.

Reproducers:

   tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch arm64 --toolchain gcc-13 --kconfig defconfig
   tuxmake --runtime podman --target-arch s390  --toolchain gcc-13 --kconfig defconfig
