I tried something similar, but it did not help.
Or may be I could not understand how to incorporate this into my code
to make it work.
Basically, when I do make in gpio, it automatically does this using:
make -C headers_install.
But in my case, this command is not getting invoked, using the following:
../../../../../drivers/staging/android/uapi/ion.h:
        make -C ../../../../.. headers_install
INSTALL_HDR_PATH=$(shell pwd)/../../../../usr/


https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelHeaders
It says:
[The correct way to address this problem is to isolate the specific
interfaces that you need, e.g. a single header file that is patched in
a new kernel providing the ioctl numbers for a character device used
by your program. In your own program, add a copy of that source file,
with a notice that it should be kept in sync with new kernel
versions.]

According to this, it looks like we should maintain the local copy of
the header file, until it is available.
I also saw a similar approach in other selftests.

So, for time being shall I create a local copy of ion.h ?
