Otherwise it's empty (not the empty string?):
No, SYMBOL_PREFIX is now defined as a non-string, same as asm files, but the now unused definition in linux/kernel.h did define it as a string as it used CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX which is a string. When I said "and is defined as a string" I was referring to the one in linux/kernel.h that this removes.
Does that make sense? It's all a bit messy unfortunately (hence RFC).
Cheers James
