This reverts 4be40e22233c ("kbuild: do not emit src version warning for non-modules"). I do not fully understand what that commit addressed, but commit 91341d4b2c19 ("kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch analysis") introduced partial section checks by using modpost. built-in.o was parsed by modpost. Even modules had a problem because *.mod files were created after the modpost check. Commit b7dca6dd1e59 ("kbuild: create *.mod with full directory path and remove MODVERDIR") stopped doing that. Now that modpost is only invoked after the directory descend, *.mod files should always exist at the modpost stage. If not, something went wrong, which should be warned.
