Also, just noticed the following with evmc6678_defconfig
arch/c6x/kernel/setup.c: In function âmachine_initâ:
arch/c6x/kernel/setup.c:290:21: warning: passing argument 1 of
âearly_init_dt_scanâ discards âconstâ qualifier from pointer target type
early_init_dt_scan(fdt);

In file included from arch/c6x/kernel/setup.c:19:0:
include/linux/of_fdt.h:75:13: note: expected âvoid *â but argument is of
type âconst void *â
extern bool early_init_dt_scan(void *params);
