Yeah, correct.

I'm a bit torn apart on this. On the one hand I'm not sure if we have 
drivers upstream explicitly supporting this as well?

On the other hand it's just the Makefiles which need to be written in a 
way which makes them relocatable. E.g. no absolute path like 
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/... in them and that's a good idea anyway.

Maybe just changing the commit message to "don't use absolute paths in 
the makefiles" would be sufficient?

Regards,
Christian.
