Hi Ahmad,
Thanks for this fix!
Few comments:
1. I was getting errors when I tried to apply your patch on either "master" or "next" branch but then realized your fix was already merged to "next" :-).
2. Indeed this fix doesn't show the original error we saw but now it shows: "error: #error No boards/CPUs selected in Kconfig". It still doesn't help to find the culprit.
3. During the investigation, I also found another issue which is related to temp\generated build files.
The following patch introduces a mistake in Kconfig file.
diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-stm32mp/Kconfig b/arch/arm/mach-stm32mp/Kconfig
index bc0a48d64c..97b61810d7 100644
--- a/arch/arm/mach-stm32mp/Kconfig

Now run make stm32mp_defconfig and see:

(Not very helpful warnings but then again I have no experience with Kbuild)
Then make -j will produce the error "#error No boards/CPUs selected in Kconfig".
Now even if you revert the change on Kconfig there is no way to fix the build (tried make clean) without getting a new clone into a fresh folder.
I assume there is something left from previous build that is not cleaned correctly.
Cheers,
Lior.
