No. Between summer, holidays and a conference I didn't get to do it. Done the minimal approach here: https://github.com/ojeda/linux/commits/compiler-attributes-backport Tested building a handful of drivers with gcc 4.6.4, 8.3.0 and 9.1.1. Greg, I could backport the entire compiler_attributes.h, but given this is stable, we are supposed to minimize changes, right? I tried to imitate what you do in other stable patches, please check the Cc:, Link: lines and the "commit ... upstream" just in case. HTH, Cheers, Miguel
