Apparently there is something wrong about the references from this patch
to a previous one from the same series ([PATCH 1/4] Input: ts-virtobj -
Add touchs[c]reen virtual object handling). The "url" link shows all
patches of this series in the right order though.

All these functions are declared in the linux/input/ts-virtobj.h header
and also inline-defined there if ts-virtobj is not selected. If it is
selected (either y or M), the functions are exported from
driver/input/touchscreen/ts-virtobj.c. According to the error report,
ts-virtobj was selected as a module.

I could build the kernel with the three possible configurations
(ts-virtobj y/n/M) for x86_64 as well as for arm64 with no errors or
warnings repeatedly, so I am a bit confused now. I am probably
missing something, but I do not know what.

I wonder if the new file where the functions are defined (ts-virtobj.c)
could not be found by some reason or if the test build does not like the
way I handled the function declaration/definition. Any hint or advice
would be more than welcome.
