Thanks for the report. This is caused by commit 433e1d88a3be ("tracing:
Add warning if string in __assign_str() does not match __string()") from
the tracing tree, not a change on the netdev side (although I have left
them on CC for this reply so they are aware of that).
To resolve it, [1] needs to be applied then the following diff can be
applied on top of that to fully clear it up (as __builtin_constant_p()
does not influence diagnostics in the front end, so the warning still
triggers on the else branch when it will really use strcmp(), as Steve
tested at [2]).
