      kbuild: remove trailing slashes from $(KBUILD_EXTMOD) · 74ee585b
      Masahiro Yamada authored
      M= (or KBUILD_EXTMOD) generally expects a directory path without any
      trailing slashes, like M=a/b/c.
      
      If you add a trailing slash, like M=a/b/c/, you will get ugly build
      logs (two slashes in a series), but it still works fine as long as it
      is consistent between 'make modules' and 'make modules_install'.
      
      The following commands correctly build and install the modules.
      
        $ make M=a/b/c/ modules
        $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install
      
      Since commit ccae4cfa ("kbuild: refactor scripts/Makefile.modinst"),
      a problem happens if you add a trailing slash only for modules_install.
      
        $ make M=a/b/c modules
        $ sudo make M=a/b/c/ modules_install
      
      No module is installed in this case, Johannes Berg reported. [1]
      
      Trim any trailing slashes from $(KBUILD_EXTMOD).
      
      I used the 'dirname' command to remove all the trailing slashes in
      case someone adds more slashes like M=a/b/c/////. The Make's built-in
      function, $(dir ...) cannot take care of such a case.
