Pulling Linus tree today, I noticed commit
3ce9e53e788881da0d5f3912f80e0dd6b501f304 ("kbuild: Fix accidental revert
in commit fe04ddf"). This change to Makefile.fwinst is unrelated and
shouldn't be applied. This hunk was suspicious, could be dropped if not
too late. Otherwise, just picking 3ce9e53e7 later would be fine as well.
