Makefile: Make kernelrelease target work with M=

[PATCH] Makefile: Make kernelrelease target work with M=

Posted by nvidia@cohens.org.il 2 years, 11 months ago

From: Tzafrir Cohen <nvidia@cohens.org.il>

Fixes: commit 1cb86b6c3136 ("kbuild: save overridden KERNELRELEASE in include/config/kernel.release")

That commit required the use of filechk_kernel.release for the
kernelrelease Makefile target. It is currently only being set when
KBUILD_EXTMOD is not set. Make sure it is set in that case as well.
