Since commit 28128c61e08e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid
missed struct attributes"), <linux/kconfig.h> pulls in kernel-space
headers to unrelated file.

Commit 0f9da844d877 ("MIPS: boot: Define __ASSEMBLY__ for its.S build")
suppressed the build error by defining __ASSEMBLY__, but ITS (i.e. DTS)
is not assembly, and should not include <linux/compiler_types.h> in the
first place.

Looking at arch/s390/tools/Makefile, host programs gen_facilities and
gen_opcode_table now pull in <linux/compiler_types.h> as well.

The motivation for that commit was to define necessary attributes
before any struct is defined.  Obviously, this happens only in C.

It is enough to include <linux/compiler_types.h> only when compiling
C files, and only when compiling kernel space.

Move the <linux/compiler_types.h> inclusion to c_flags.

I will also send a correct fix-up for MIPS Makefile later.

As long as the result is the same: it's impossible to define a
structure without defined attributes, I'm fine with it. :)

Question below...

Why here instead of adding it to LINUXINCLUDE ?

LINUXINCLUDE contains '-include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h'

If you add compier_types.h there, nothing would change.


My intention is to include <linux/compiler_types.h> only for C.
Not assembly, linker scripts, or anything else.
