File ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mld/link.c, function iwl_mld_get_chan_load_from_element reference to class_rcu_t that is supposed to be defined by DEFINE_CLASS marco in backport-include/linux/cleanup.h. And the header file itself came from v6.5-rc1 commit 54da6a092431 ("locking: Introduce __cleanup() based infrastructure"), which also adds DEFINE_CLASS calls in corresponding headers, but not in backport-iwlwifi.

Upstream master branch fixes this with commit 252a24ded4198 ("backport: add RCU guard"), but it fixes only for v6.1.x, and as a result the backport-iwlwifi becomes compilable against v6.1 and v6.5+ only.
