Hi Khem and Bruce,

I got the patch from raspberry pi github and it looked like it put the
header into include/uapi/linux/dma-heap.h, for kernel 5.4 it doesn't look
like there is a need for a Kbuild file. Are any special steps needed for
exporting the header (I thought kernel 5.4 exports everything from
include/uapi directory) ? The  linux-libc-headers sound like the issue.
Thanks for the pointers, I will dig up further based on the suggestions and
revert.
