This is already being reverted in the latest -rc release, does that not
work here for you?

I think saw, this error on v5.15.196-rc1, When I rechecked on 
v5.15.196-rc2, It was fixed as "perf test: Don't leak workload gopipe in 
PERF_RECORD_*" was reverted, had confirmed same on revert of rc2 release.

The RISC-V build fails with:

arch/riscv/kernel/cpu.c: In function 'riscv_of_processor_hartid':
arch/riscv/kernel/cpu.c:24:33: error: implicit declaration of function 
'of_get_cpu_hwid'; did you mean 'of_get_cpu_node'? 
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    24 |         *hart = (unsigned long) of_get_cpu_hwid(node, 0);
       |                                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       |                                 of_get_cpu_node
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

The function of_get_cpu_hwid() doesn't exist in Linux 5.15.x. It was 
introduced in 5.16-rc1. The following patches should be reverted:

87b94f8227b3b654ea6e7670cefb32dab0e570ed RISC-V: Don't fail in 
riscv_of_parent_hartid() for disabled HARTs

568d34c6aafa066bbdb5e7b6aed9c492d81964e8 RISC-V: Don't print details of 
CPUs disabled in DT

And the stable-dep-of patches for the above should also be reverted 
since they cause warnings:

989694ece94da2bbae6c6f3f044994302f923cc8 riscv: cpu: Add 64bit hartid 
support on RV64
