I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry"
(commit d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216)
Especially :
- add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
+ if (!mod->skip)
+ add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
}
return;
fail:
Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.
Thanks for the bug report!
