Compiling issues

File is not found, even if it is in the kernel

The only ways to fix it is to change something, change the kernel or do something else to the kernel.

yylloc error (present in multiple kernels found on Github)

Either I'll need to create a patch or fork the repo and edit some file to fix the issue.

Issues

Vendor kernel (as I don't know if it's also available for the A20e device)

I forgot to create it. Would it boot without it? Probably not. I don't even know what vendor files are important!
