# kernel module infrastructure for building Linux kernel modules
#
# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of package
# .mk files for out-of-tree Linux kernel modules. It should be used for all
# packages that build a Linux kernel module using the kernel's out-of-tree
# buildsystem, unless they use a complex custom buildsystem.
#
# The kernel-module infrastructure requires the packages that use it to also
# use another package infrastructure. kernel-module only defines post-build
# and post-install hooks. This allows the package to build both kernel
# modules and/or user-space components (with any of the other *-package
# infra).
#
# As such, it is to be used in conjunction with another *-package infra,
# like so:
#
#   $(eval $(kernel-module))
#   $(eval $(generic-package))
#
# Note: if the caller needs access to the kernel modules (either after they
# are built or after they are installed), it will have to define its own
# post-build/install hooks *after* calling kernel-module, but *before*
# calling the other *-package infra, like so:
#
#   $(eval $(kernel-module))
#   define FOO_MOD_TWEAK
#       # do something
#   endef
#   FOO_POST_BUILD_HOOKS += FOO_MOD_TWEAK
#   $(eval $(generic-package))
#
# Note: this infra does not check that the kernel is enabled; it is expected
# to be enforced at the Kconfig level with proper 'depends on'.
