The quilt patch titled
Subject: compiler.h: introduce TYPEOF_UNQUAL() macro
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
compilerh-introduce-typeof_unqual-macro.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

From: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: compiler.h: introduce TYPEOF_UNQUAL() macro
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 17:05:06 +0100
Define TYPEOF_UNQUAL() to use __typeof_unqual__() as typeof operator when
available, to return unqualified type of the expression.
Current version of sparse doesn't know anything about __typeof_unqual__()
operator. Avoid the usage of __typeof_unqual__() when sparse checking is
active to prevent sparse errors with unknowing keyword.
