This was also caused by a leftover scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.h in the
source tree.

Andreas' fix works (sort of, read on), but only if you run "make mrproper"
_after_ applying it.

Still, if you have other leftovers from a previous build in the source tree,
you get:

  Using /scratch/geert/linux/linux-next as source for kernel
  /scratch/geert/linux/linux-next is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
  in the '/scratch/geert/linux/linux-next' directory.

However, you don't get that message if there's still a stale
scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.h in the source tree.
Any idea how to fix that?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
