After applying the first 10 patches, and running it, I see a bunch of
these types of warnings:

Use of uninitialized value $kernelversion in substitution (s///) at ./scripts/get_abi.pl line 444.
Use of uninitialized value $users in substitution (s///) at ./scripts/get_abi.pl line 446.
Use of uninitialized value $users in substitution (s///) at ./scripts/get_abi.pl line 447.

When doing something like:
$ ./scripts/get_abi.pl search usb --dir Documentation/ABI/stable/

Is that expected?

thanks,
