Also, just noticed the following with evmc6678_defconfig
arch/c6x/kernel/setup.c: In function âmachine_initâ:
arch/c6x/kernel/setup.c:290:21: warning: passing argument 1 of
âearly_init_dt_scanâ discards âconstâ qualifier from pointer target type
  early_init_dt_scan(fdt);
                     ^
In file included from arch/c6x/kernel/setup.c:19:0:

type âconst void *â
 extern bool early_init_dt_scan(void *params);
