This is one of the few defconfigs that still use CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024.
The default value for 32-bit systems was lifted from 1024 to 1280 in
commit 32115734c0ed8b46 ("Increase the default 32-bit build frame size
warning limit to 1280 bytes") in v6.18, so perhaps the downgrade to
1024 should be dropped from the following defconfigs:

$ git grep CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
arch/mips/configs/eyeq5_defconfig:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
arch/mips/configs/eyeq6_defconfig:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
arch/mips/configs/eyeq6lplus_defconfig:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
arch/mips/configs/lemote2f_defconfig:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
arch/mips/configs/loongson2k_defconfig:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
arch/powerpc/configs/fsl-emb-nonhw.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/arch/arm.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/arch/armeb.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/arch/i686.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/arch/m68k.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/arch/mips.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/arch/mipsel.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024
tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/arch/powerpc.config:CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=1024

I am not sure about the wireguard selftests: they might use the lower
value deliberately for testing?
