The problem with this patch is that it fixes the problem specifically
for the wandboard_defconfig. Any other person building another kernel
version affected by the same problem will face the problem.
If the problem is serious, I don't really see another option than
having some logic in linux.mk to detect if the kernel is affected by
the problem, and replacing the perl script by a bc script.
Other ideas?
Best regards,
Thomas
