On ARCH_BRCMSTB using 32-bit and 64-bit ARM kernels, build tested on BMIPS_GENERIC:

Please note that "udp: gso: do not drop small packets when PMTU reduces" does cause the following build warning:

we need a more targeting fix for 5.4 which replaces the use of min, with min_t:

diff --git a/net/ipv6/udp.c b/net/ipv6/udp.c
