From ed45d403696150864ee3090e69e0564d4397eebc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anish Bhatt <anish@chelsio.com> Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 17:37:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild : Fix documentation of INSTALL_HDR_PATH The header install makefile creates an 'include' directory inside INSTALL_HDR_PATH and appending include to the path results in headers being installed to include/include. Don't recommend appending include to the path as makefile already does this.
