This kernel builds fine with the ARM GCC toolchain.. for some reason, the aarch64 toolchain throws this error.
kernel/sched/core_ctl.c: In function 'cpufreq_gov_cb':
kernel/sched/core_ctl.c:1086:25: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
core_ctl_set_busy(info->cpu, info->load);

kernel/sched/core_ctl.c:1086:36: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Here's the struct at the very beginning of the file where "cpu" is defined (can't find load in the c file):
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/notifier.h>

bool nrrun_changed;

struct task_struct *hotplug_thread;
struct kobject kobj;

};
What could make the compiler report incomplete type? I'm not too familiar with pointers and structures in C yet.. can't figure it out.
It seems that the header file for struct cpufreq_govinfo is missing when the kernel/sched/core_ctl.c is compiled on your machine.
struct cpufreq_govinfo {
unsigned int cpu;
unsigned int load;
unsigned int sampling_rate_us;
};
On my machine(ARM:CortexA7), the GCC compiler does not throw compile error since the following head file is properly included.
kernel/include/linux/cpufreq.h
In addition, the following patch will enable you to have preprocessed file after building Linux Kernel.

If you take a look at the preprocessed file .tmp_core_ctl.i, you would be able to see all of the header files for compiling core_ctl.c
