Apparently some compilers [1] cannot handle doing math on dereferenced
string constants at compile time. This has led to reports [2] of
compile errors like:
In file included from drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c:42:0:
./include/drm/drm_edid.h:525:2: error: initializer element is not constant
((((u32)((vend)[0]) - '@') & 0x1f) << 26 | \
Go back to the syntax I used in v4 of the patch series [3] that added
this code instead of what landed (v5). This syntax is slightly uglier
but should be much more compatible with varied compilers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
