It's probably a good idea to do builds with clang at this point since
apparently it can catch some cases that GCC doesn't. There's some
documentation on how to do that here:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/llvm.html

The process is quite similar to using GCC and it has the advantage that
clang ships with built-in cross-compilers, so less hassle setting things
up.

Yes, the hte_return_t failures were my fault. Turns out due to some
dependencies not being fulfilled my test builds didn't cover gpiolib
character devices, so I didn't catch those.

I've not got a couple of configurations that I can build and a short
script that will verify that all the necessary files have been built, so
that should hopefully catch such issues in the future.

I had also pushed a fixed branch yesterday and it looks like today's
linux-next built fine for HTE, so it's now included.
