Hi Marcin,

At my side, I got this error. I applied the suggested change, still the issue persist.

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: acpi_mdio -> fwnode_mdio -> acpi_mdio
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!
Makefile:1773: recipe for target 'modules_install' failed
make: *** [modules_install] Error 1

Regards,
Athari
