The return value of __invalid_xchg_size() is assigned to tmp instead of
the return variable x. Assign it to x instead.

Thanks for your patch!

That is not the right commit. The issue was introduced before:
Fixes: 2501cf768e4009a0 ("m68k: Fix xchg/cmpxchg to fail to link if
given an inappropriate pointer")

Although this was not a real bug (__invalid_xchg_size() does not exist,
but is referenced to cause a deliberate link error), it is good to
clean this up.

i.e. will queue in the m68k tree for v6.11.

Thank you for explaining this. I was already wondering why I couldn't
find the function definition.
