Hi all,

After merging the kunit-next tree, today's linux-next build
(arm64 kunit) failed like this:

[22:59:27] Configuring KUnit Kernel ...

Populating config with:

This is caused by commit

  a05cfd98c5eca (gpio: kunit: add test cases for software node hogs)

which was from the gpio-brgl tree, it has only just become visible since 

  34b5c0132952c (kunit: configs: enable GPIO kunit test cases in all_tests.config)

was added causing the gpiolib tests to actually be run though neither of
these commits was added today (the KUnit tree did not change for a
while).  I'm not clear why this has started failing today, presumably
some third commit from another tree has started triggering a regression
since neither of these trees has changed.

I have left this for today.
