Ujjwal, you have nicely split the patches. I suggest you send out this 
patch and the patch "kbuild: use interpreters to incoke scripts" together 
as one patch series.

You just need to write a cover letter and explain there which steps you 
did to find this being wrong before and what you did to test that it is 
now corrected.

Also, can you please share on this list to whom/which lists you would send 
this patch series?

Then we check that we did not miss anyone important for these two patches.

Please resend the two mentioned patches again as patch series with a cover 
letter.

We are getting close now to sending this to the larger group of kernel 
developers.

Good progress so far.

Lukas
