+Subject: [PATCH] arc: revert broken upstream change
+
+The upstream commit
+"9aed02f ARC: [arcompact] handle unaligned access delay slot corner case"
+introduced a syntax error in arch/arc/kernel/unaligned.c, leading to the
+following build failure:
+
+    arch/arc/kernel/unaligned.c: In function 'misaligned_fixup':
+    arch/arc/kernel/unaligned.c:246:25: error: expected ';' before '~' token
+       regs->ret = regs->bta ~1U;
+                         ^
+    make[6]: *** [arch/arc/kernel/unaligned.o] Error 1
+
+This patch reverts the offending change until an upstream fix is available.
