Hi,
I was CCed on the "depmod: handle the case of /sbin/depmod without
/sbin in PATH" changes to linux-stable releases.
Do you mind also pushing...?
commit 436e980e2ed526832de822cbf13c317a458b78e1
kbuild: don't hardcode depmod path
That was the origin for the depmod follow-up.
Thanks.
Regards,

Ack, I think 436e980e2ed5 ("kbuild: don't hardcode depmod path") is
stable material even if it doesn't fix a bug.
Not only does the fix for that commit not make sense without the
commit in the first place, but any environment that sets depmod
somewhere else might well be an environment that still wants stable
kernels.
It may not be the traditional case, but there's little reason for the
kernel build to force that /sbin/depmod location.

Thanks for pushing (and correcting the stable-ML email-address).
