From 3a51f9081e7b4c7229e1d3cb5ec74bc27ae4ea84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2019 19:13:56 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: remove stale dependency between Documentation/ and headers_install Commit 8e2faea877eb ("Make Documenation depend on headers_install") dates back to 2014, which is before Sphinx was introduced for the kernel documentation. Since none of DOC_TARGET requires headers_install, it is strange to run it only for the single target "Documentation/".
