Hi Prakash,

kernel test robot noticed the following build errors:

[auto build test ERROR on tip/x86/core]
[also build test ERROR on linus/master v6.16-rc7]
[cannot apply to tip/sched/core tip/core/entry next-20250725]
[If your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, kindly drop us a note.
And when submitting patch, we suggest to use '--base' as documented in
