Can you double-check that 'make clean' and/or 'make mrproper' remove all the
generated files? This may already be the case, but I don't see how this is
done in your Makefile

Nice, this choice statement looks a lot better than the version you had before.

I had not noticed this previously, but I think this should not be used here,
as -ffreestanding disables a number of optimizations for compiler builtins.

Did you just copy this from MIPS or do you have a particular reason this
is used here?

This is already set in the global Makefile and can be removed as well

I would argue that VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS should not be configurable
here, instead all kernels should use the same value.

The list is apparently from an older kernel and no longer needed for
files that are listed in include/asm-generic/Kbuild.

Please only list the files that are not already there.
