I'm a bit uncertain about this. Looking into the .config used, this
error seems to happen because task_work_add isn't an exported symbol,
but DRM is being compiled as a loadable kernel module (CONFIG_DRM=m).
One way to deal with this is to export the symbol, but there was a
proposed patch to do this a few months back that wasn't picked up [1],
so I'm not sure what to make of this.
I'll export the symbol as part of a v3 series, and check in with the
task-work maintainers.
