You break that already at the first patch, which makes the Kconfig options available, which if enabled will cause a build failure. make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/aq_main.o', needed by 'drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic.o'. Stop. make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... scripts/Makefile.build:551: recipe for target 'drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia' failed make[3]: *** [drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia] Error 2 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... scripts/Makefile.build:551: recipe for target 'drivers/net/ethernet' failed make[2]: *** [drivers/net/ethernet] Error 2 scripts/Makefile.build:551: recipe for target 'drivers/net' failed make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Makefile:988: recipe for target 'drivers' failed make: *** [drivers] Error 2 The way to do this, is to add the pieces of source code infrastrucutre, one piece at a time. And then at the very very end, enable the code into the build.
