True, but the same can be said that "scripts/dtc" is not includes nor kernel build infrastructure. > Maybe what we should do is: > > mkdir include/dt > git mv include/dt-bindings include/dt > for arch in arch/*; do > dts=$arch/boot/dts > if [ -d $dts ]; then > a=include/dt/$(basename $arch) > ln -s $dts $a > git add $a > fi > done > ... fixup scripts/Makefile.lib ... > git commit That would just break every existing include in dts files. Another idea. Could kbuild create all the symlinks at build time instead?
