--- 7.4 mandatory-y
- mandatory-y is essentially used by include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

+ mandatory-y is essentially used by include/(uapi/)asm-generic/Kbuild.asm
+ to define the minimum set of ASM headers that all architectures must have.
+
+ This works like optional generic-y. If a mandatory header is missing
+ in arch/$(ARCH)/include/(uapi/)/asm, Kbuild will automatically generate
+ a wrapper of the asm-generic one.
The convention is to list one subdir per line and
preferably in alphabetic order.
