Apologies - I jumped to conclusions in my original bug report

After applying your patch and seeing it did not fix the issue, I did a bit of investigation myself.

The real problem isn't in the code however, but in my Makefile.

I didn't run the "modules_prepare" target before trying to build a module, despite it being documented: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt

Adding that target to my Makefile resolved the issue, without any changes to the linux-source package.

So this bug is now invalid
