My local machine doesn't generate a warning; it causes a build error.
So my question was, how was I able to build and test yesterday in a
remote server? It turns out I built it with make -j40, so I missed the
error message because of the parallel build, and I didn't pay
attention that the output didn't display the modules_install typical
output. Usually, I do my tests in an RHEL9 machine, which ships with
kernel 5.14, but this time I tested in a Fedora machine, which ships
kernel 5.16. And for a moment, I forgot that. So when I booted with
kernel 5.16, I believed I was running my custom kernel. Luckily, v5
mainly was a squash of v4 with this port->state check added. Anyway,
sorry about the typo. v6 is on the way.
