This is a result of a newer compiler version, combined with the -Werror flag that is applied to arch/mips/, and two of the mips defconfigs overriding CONFIG_FRAME_WARN to 1024 on a 64-bit architecture (probably by accident).
I'm wondering how good an idea it is to leave -Werror on in stable kernels given that they're very likely to get used with newer compilers at some point. But then I've never been a fan of -Werror in the first place.
