    kbuild: use $(obj)/ instead of $(src)/ for common pattern rules · 9a0ebe50
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
    checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
    difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
    in scripts/Makefile.build:
    
      src := $(obj)
    
    Before changing the semantics of $(src) in the next commit, this commit
    replaces $(obj)/ with $(src)/ in pattern rules where the prerequisite
    might be a generated file.
    
    C, assembly, Rust, and DTS files are sometimes generated by tools, so
    they could be either generated files or real sources. The $(obj)/ prefix
    works for both cases with the help of VPATH.
    
    As mentioned above, $(obj) and $(src) are the same at this point, hence
    this commit has no functional change.
    
    I did not modify scripts/Makefile.userprogs because there is no use
    case where userspace C files are generated.
