This 3 patch series is not bisectable.  If CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST=y then the kernel
will not build with just patch 1 or just patches 1 and 2 applied.

If CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST=y then a kernel image make will always cause .version to
be incremented, even if there are not source changes.  This is caused by
a lack of dependency tracking and checking for
drivers/of/unittest-data/testcases.dtb.o.  Fixing the problem was made more
complicated by the fact that testcases.dtb.o was linked into ../of_unittest.o.

Patch 1 modifies makefiles to move of_unittest.c into unittest-data/ and
creates missing dependency tracking for testcases.dtb.o.

Patch 2 will move of_unittest.c into unittest-data/

Patch 3 will fix an of_unittest.c include path to account for the move.

  patch 1:
  Remove some changes to scripts/Makefile.lib that are not needed.  They
  were left over from attempts to fix the problem without moving of_unitest.c

If you did 2 patches with the move first, wouldn't that make it
bisectable. However, I'd rather avoid the move.

Couldn't we change that to be 2 modules.

This should all be in an intro email, not patch #1.

Yes, I did not like the move either.  Fortunately you gave me the cluebat I needed
to avoid the move.

Thanks, that was just the hint I needed to realize that of_unittest.o was
just an artifact of the problem I was trying to solve.  I will send a new
patch that removes the of_unittest.o cruft and does not need to move unittest.c
