[PATCH v4 1/2] kbuild: Mark usr_gen_init_cpio as no-dot-config-target

Mon Sep 28 10:26:57 PDT 2026


Let usr/gen_init_cpio be built also if there is no kernel configuration.

Askar Safin reported that gen_init_cpio may be of use before any kernel
configuration is available.  Add usr_gen_init_cpio to list of targets
that do not require a .config file.
