[PATCH 2/2] kbuild: do not update config for 'make kernelrelease'

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sat Jun 16 2018 - 20:08:45 EST


'make kernelrelease' depends on CONFIG_LOCALVERSION(_AUTO), but
for the same reason as install targets, we do not want to update
the configuration just for printing the kernelrelease string.

This is likely to happen if you forget to pass CROSS_COMPILE when
running 'make kernelrelease' in the source tree configured for
cross-compilation.
