The kernel test robot reports a link error when the stm driver is a loadable module on any v5.4 kernel:
ERROR: "__memcat_p" [drivers/hwtracing/stm/stm_core.ko] undefined!
This was fixed in mainline with commit 7273ad2b08f8 ("kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y"), which is fairly intrusive.
Fix the v5.4 specific issue with a minimal subset of that patch, linking only the failing object into the kernel. Kernels before v4.20 are not affected.
