From 0126be38d98815d25d9ec4573541ed4315bf6a88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2018 00:04:18 +0900 Subject: kbuild: announce removal of SUBDIRS if used SUBDIRS has been kept as a backward compatibility since commit ("[PATCH] kbuild: external module support") in 2002. We do not need multiple ways to do the same thing, so I will remove SUBDIRS after the Linux 5.3 release. I cleaned up in-tree code, and updated the document so that nobody would try to use it. Meanwhile, display the following warning if SUBDIRS is used.
