Fwd: [RFC] kbuild: Build samples directory with make modules

[Syed Muhammad Mohsin Kazmi]

Is there any specific reason that this patch is ignored still yet?
Compiling the uImage and modules together add the support of samples?
Shouldn't it be compiled as a module separately and that is correct
behavior in case of if samples are compiled as loadable modules?

Thanks,
Mohsin Kazmi
