Merge tag 'kbuild-fixes-6.18-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux

Pull Kbuild fixes from Nathan Chancellor:

 - Strip trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo to fix
   error during modules_install with certain versions of kmod

 - Drop unused static inline function warning in .c files with clang
   from W=1 to W=2

 - Ensure kernel-doc.py invocations use the PYTHON3 make variable to
   ensure user's choice of Python interpreter is always respected

* tag 'kbuild-fixes-6.18-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux:
  kbuild: Let kernel-doc.py use PYTHON3 override
  compiler_types: Move unused static inline functions warning to W=2
  kbuild: Strip trailing padding bytes from modules.builtin.modinfo
