This is now Introduced by commit

from the notifications tree interacting with commit

from the kbuild tree.

It only produces these warnings now:

scripts/Makefile.lib:8: 'always' is deprecated. Please use 'always-y' instead
scripts/Makefile.lib:12: 'hostprogs-y' is deprecated. Please use 'hostprogs' instead
