In principle I'm fine with backporting this - it does fix broken builds.
It's only going to be of any use though if you also backport commit
04f264d3a8b0 ("compiler.h: Allow arch-specific asm/compiler.h"). I'd
recommend backporting both or neither.
In practice I think it's unlikely anyone will need a microMIPS kernel &
be tied to the particular versions affected by the bug this patch fixed,
so I don't think it's a problem to backport neither.
I think the current practice of the stable kernel these days is to take
both patches in this case: They fix an actual bug in the mainline kernel,
and it seems unlikely enough that they cause a regression if backported,
so putting them into 4.14 has more advantages than disadvantages.
I'll take both, thank you!
