Building h8300:allnoconfig ... failed

This affects h8300 builds in all branches all the way back to v4.9.y. It also affects release candidates for various other architectures in v4.9.y..v5.10.y. In v4.9.y.queue, for example, I see 56 build failures out of 164 builds; most if not all of those can be attributed to problems with test_bit_acquire() - either due to a missing or due to a bad backport.
I can only hope that fix for the the problem that required the test_bit_acquire() backport is worth the trouble it causes.
Not yet, no. I'm dropping them all.
thanks,
