kbuild: doc: remove outdated description of the limitation on -I usage
Kbuild used to manipulate header search paths, enforcing the odd limitation of "no space after -I". Commit cdd750bfb1f7 ("kbuild: remove 'addtree' and 'flags' magic for header search paths") stopped doing that. This limitation no longer exists. Instead, you need to accurately specify the header search path. (In this case, $(src)/include) Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier <n.schier@avm.de>
