I've been noting breakages in the build integration and submitted a patch-on-top[1] as part of the general RFC Derrick Stolee[2] started about how to integrate such components in-tree. I think it would be helpful if you weighted in on this whole discussion about if/how in-tree path prefixes are meaningful as a method of "marking" certain components or not. It seems to me that some assumptions in the approaches described in [2] ultimately come down to reading the tea leaves vis-a-vis what patches the maintainer might accept in the future to the discussed components 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-1.1-86fb8d56307-20211028T185016Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/b67bbef4-e4c3-b6a7-1c7f-7d405902ef8b@xxxxxxxxx/
