Ah, thanks for that information. Moving the libfdt.h bits out of
bootinfo.h does not seem like it would be too difficult but I am less
sure about asm/machine.h. Alternatively, maybe this could be avoided by
separating out what you would need from bootinfo.h into its own header
but I did not look too hard.

There shouldn't be that many locations using libfdt functions. Add the
header where it is used. IWYU

As for a solution within install-extmod-build, maybe the libfdt headers
could be included so that inadvertent inclusions of libfdt.h do not
break the build but the link fails if the module actually tries to use
any libfdt functions?

You do this and then we get to keep the work-around forever as no one
will care. MIPS is a mess that needs to be cleaned up.

Yeah, that is a valid perspective, I won't push that further. Thanks for
chiming in.
