PATCH 1/1 pkg-kconfig: add missing -patch dependency for defconfig

Since the introduction of _KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG in 8ef62b99, the package's .config file no longer depends on anything (unless a fragment is defined). Therefore, there is no dependency anymore between .config and <pkg>-patch. Thus, it is possible that the .config file is attempted to be built before the package is extracted and patched. Usually this works out OK because <pkg>-patch will always be done before <pkg>-configure, but it will fail when the user calls <pkg>-menuconfig explicitly. It will also fail when we enable top-level parallel build.

To solve this, just add an explicit order-only dependency on <pkg>-patch. It really is only necessary when _KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG is defined and _KCONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES is not, but it doesn't hurt to add it unconditionally.

I don't understand why this is needed.

On line 65, we have;
    $$($(2)_DIR)/.config: $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FILE) $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES)
and on line 52;
    $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FILE) $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES): | $(1)-patch

So, unless I'm missing something, $$($(2)_DIR)/.config already has a dependency on $(1)-patch via $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FILE)

Oh, damn, I see it now... Grr...

OK, so what made me understand is the comment in the code:

[...] if we only have a _KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG [...]

Ok, so it goes thusly:

- if using a defconfig file, we do not have a $(2)_KCONFIG_FILE

- if at the same time, we have no fragments, we have no rule from

    .config to $(1)-patch.

OK, fine by me. Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
