Building android kernel from source gives me error! (Lenovo TAB 2 A8-50F)

Question

I've successfully flashed a wrong boot.img onto my tablet, and i cannot turn it on now. (yeah, i've got a bootloop) I've already downloaded the SP flash tool and the original source code but somehow i cannot compile the kernel from it...i guess, something is missing. Here is what i did so far:

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9
cd android
tar xvf lenovo_tab_2_a8-50_osc_201505.tar.gz 
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
make lcsh8735_6tb_a8_l_defconfig
make -j2

And I've got this output:

drivers/misc/mediatek/gpio/mt6735/mt_gpio_debug.c:21:23: fatal error: gpio_init.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gpio_init.h>
                       ^

Could somebody help me?

Answer 1

Error

fatal error: linux/netfilter/xt_mark.h: No such file or directory

normally arises when you build kernel on shared folders or other filesystem which doesn't support links.

Build kernel on local Linux filesystem (ext4, xfs, etc.).

Answer 2

Edit the mt_gpio_debug.c file and replace this line #include <gpio_init.h> with ' #include "gpio_init.h" ' It's seems like a typo in most mt6735/mt6753 kernel source codes.
