Hi Jeff,

Sorry for the late reply, have you figured it out in the meantime?

I couldn't immediately reproduce it, so it may already be fixed
in linux-next.

My best guess is that this is an objtool issue, as new compiler
versions tend to trigger new cases that were not previously covered
in objtool.
