From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 113147510b48e764e624e3d0e6707a1e48bc05a9 upstream. Commit b2c885549122 ("kbuild: update modules.order only when contained modules are updated") accidentally changed the modules order. Prior to that commit, the modules order was determined based on vmlinux-dirs, which lists core-y/m, drivers-y/m, libs-y/m, in this order. Now, subdir-modorder lists them in a different order: core-y/m, libs-y/m, drivers-y/m. Presumably, there was no practical issue because the modules in drivers and libs are orthogonal, but there is no reason to have this distortion. Get back to the original order.
