I am seeing a similar problem.
This appears to be introduced by commit 6543becf (mod/file2alias: make
modalias generation safe for cross compiling). More specifically a race
condition between the generation of devicetable-offsets.h and the
generation of asm/types.h by scripts/Makefile.asm-generic.
For builds which succeed I see this order:
WRAP arch/arm/include/generated/asm/types.h
[...]
GEN include/generated/asm-offsets.h
and for those which fail:
CC scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s
In file included from include/linux/types.h:5:0,
from include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:11,
from scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c:2:
include/uapi/linux/types.h:4:23: fatal error: asm/types.h: No such file or
directory
[...]
WRAP arch/arm/include/generated/asm/types.h
These makefile and scripts are a bit beyond my immediate understanding
so can't suggest a fix.
