I think you must also have CONFIG_WERROR enabled?

Just building defconfig + CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y gives me a warning, but not
an error, and the kernel builds just fine.

So this is a problem to fix, and I appreciate that in test configs this might
be broken, but it's not a full build-time failure for most users.

Thanks,
Mark.
