[PATCH] kbuild: add comment about grouped target
From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Mar 24 2020 - 23:16:59 EST
GNU Make commit 8c888d95f618 ("[SV 8297] Implement "grouped targets"
for explicit rules.") added the '&:' syntax.
I think '&:' is a perfect fit here, but we cannot use it any time
soon. Just add a TODO comment.
