4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bcd7c45e0d5a82be9a64b90050f0e09d41a50758 upstream. The .its targets require information about the kernel binary, such as its entry point, which is extracted from the vmlinux ELF. We therefore require that the ELF is built before the .its files are generated. Declare this requirement in the Makefile such that make will ensure this is always the case, otherwise in corner cases we can hit issues as the .its is generated with an incorrect (either invalid or stale) entry point.
