Could you clarify a bit more what the use case is? Then we can consider
if there are maybe better ways to achieve it.
Also, a properly formatted patch has a commit message which is
formatted as follows: a single summary line of max. 80 characters, an
empty line, one or more paragraphs explaining why the patch is necessary,
your Signed-off-by line, a line containing three dashes, the patch
changelog (if you resubmit it). Look at other patches on the list for
examples. And you should send the patch with git send-email or similar,
so that whitespace is retained and we can comment in-line.
Regarding the patch itself: why do you pass $(TARGET_DIR) as an
argument? Since the 'dirs' step comes after the 'prepare' step,
$(TARGET_DIR) doesn't exist yet...
Regards,
Arnout
