Thanks for the comments.


This issue will be fixed by this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11515997/

and the Makefile will be cleaned up by this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11515995/


They are parts of the big series of Makefile cleanups.
So, I will apply the whole to kbuild tree.

Thanks.
