The problems are all known, and fixes have been submitted.
From my fixes branch:

1737339334d9 (fixes-v6.18) of: Skip devicetree kunit tests when RISCV+ACPI doesn't populate root node
f676380882c0 power: supply: intel_dc_ti_battery: fix 64bit divisions
286b0aaa6ff5 ARM: dts: aspeed: fuji-data64: Enable mac3 controller

SHAs are of course local. The unit tests affected by the devicetree patch
are disabled in my testbed and not reported.
