Randy Dunlap accf294af4 kbuild: make missing $DEPMOD a Warning instead of an Error
commit 914b087ff9 upstream.

When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting
with an error message and error status:

Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it.
This is probably in the kmod package.

Change the Error to a Warning because "not all build hosts for cross
compiling Linux are Linux systems and are able to provide a working
port of depmod, especially at the file patch /sbin/depmod."

I.e., "make modules_install" may be used to copy/install the
loadable modules files to a target directory on a build system and
then transferred to an embedded device where /sbin/depmod is run
instead of it being run on the build system.

Fixes: 934193a654 ("kbuild: verify that $DEPMOD is installed")
