Hi Alexandre,

I can't see the patches in the for-next branch ... have they been dropped again? Was there an issue with the patches?

Thanks,
Thomas

The kernel Makefiles define the __ASSEMBLY__ macro to provide
a way to use headers in both, assembly and C source code.
However, all the supported versions of the GCC and Clang compilers
also define the macro __ASSEMBLER__ automatically already when compiling
assembly code, so some kernel headers are using __ASSEMBLER__ instead.
With regards to userspace code, this seems also to be constant source
of confusion, see for example these links here:

[...]

Here is the summary with links:
- [v2,1/2] riscv: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in uapi headers
https://git.kernel.org/riscv/c/c47963980ba6
- [v2,2/2] riscv: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers

You are awesome, thank you!
