Ah sorry, that was a typo. I meant to say the following:
"This addresses a minor nit where I **don't** want a `-devel` RPM
package to be built when I build a binary RPM package with either
`binrpm-pkg` or `rpm-pkg` target(s)."

That is because on ARM systems where I just need to quickly test the
upstream defconfig, I don't really need the `-devel` package.

Also, I see that in a hurry, I did the opposite of what I wanted in the
patches. This went unnoticed since I had KBUILD_RPM_WITH_DEVEL=0 for me
during testing. Sorry about that!

I'll send a v2 fixing this stupid mistake.
