    depmod: pass -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX · 8937e897
    James Hogan authored
    On architectures which have symbol prefixes, depmod emits lots of
    warnings like this:
    
    WARNING: $module.ko needs unknown symbol $symbol
    
    This is because depmod isn't being passed the -P <symbol_prefix>
    arguments to specify the symbol prefix to ignore. This option is
    included since the 3.13 release of module-init-tools.
    
    Update scripts/depmod.sh to take extra arguments for the symbol prefix
    (required but may be empty), and update the main Makefile to always pass
    "$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX)" to scripts/depmod.sh.
    
    If the provided symbol prefix is non-empty, scripts/depmod.sh checks if
    depmod --version reports module-init-tools with a version number < 3.13
    otherwise it appends -P $SYMBOL_PREFIX to the depmod command line.
