No conceptual issues with this, but it breaks my build:

  arch/arm64/Makefile:61: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax
  arch/arm64/Makefile:61: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax
  arch/arm64/Makefile:61: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax
  arch/arm64/Makefile:61: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'Image.gz', needed by 'all'.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

I hear some people run auto-builders nowaways that might spot this ;)
