Hello all, I was building a kernel for x86 and noticed Make still descended into directories like drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon, this seems kind of odd given nothing will be built here. It looks to be due to some directories being included in obj-y unconditionally instead of only when the relevant CONFIG_ is set.
These patches are split by subsystem in-case, for some reason, a file in a directory does need to be built, I believe I have checked for all instances of this, but a quick review from some maintainers would be nice. Thanks, Andrew Changes from v1: - Removed patches already taken by maintainers - Rebased on v4.10-rc1 (no changes needed) Andrew F.
