I have now built and installed smatch - it is now part of my built
scripts.

My build scripts now support extended warnings to level 1.  This was a
pain to get working, as my scripts also build DTBS, which has a side
effect of re-compiling everything, every time.  This was fixed by also
issuing W=1 on the `make $(make_options) $(extra_build_options) dtbs`
line.

This had me confused for a little while.  I think you mean:

  #include "stm_nand_dt.h".

Basically, the DT code wasn't including its own header file.

Caught and fixed.

Now fixed.

I have split out the BBT header file and applied it first.

How do _you_ test for bisectability?  Do you have a script?

What outputs "Failed to build patch #7: ..."?

Fixed.
