    SubjectRe: depmod gets stuck in symlink cycle in arch/arm/boot/dts/include
    Yeah, the location of the include directory needs to move. I'll post a
    patch shortly. Russell reported it earlier but the week got busy and I
    lost track of it.

    The easiest solution here is to move the dts/include directory to
    somewhere else.
