Oops, I forgot to check the linux-kbuild list before sending this patch. I see
that a more robust patch has been posted which addresses a separate issue, but

Please ignore this. Thanks!

Kind regards,
Alvin

No problem. I did not notice I had broken yocto builds,
and it is good to know it has been solved as well.
Thanks for the report.
