Hey, Masami
I was wondering why so many level of "deep nesting" of a particualr header
file like this one :
✔ ~/git-linux/linux/tools/bootconfig/include/linux [patch L|✔]
08:34 $ cat bootconfig.h
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
#ifndef _BOOTCONFIG_LINUX_BOOTCONFIG_H
#define _BOOTCONFIG_LINUX_BOOTCONFIG_H
#include "../../../../include/linux/bootconfig.h"
#endif
I am surely missing some basic stuff...but...anyway, I have taken a peek on other files in the same dir and none have the nesting like that(the include ../ ...line)
Any specific reason? OR did you thought of keeping all the header file in one paplace(wildly guessing) ...

If you carefully check the number of ../, you can find that it refers the
<topdir>/include/linux/bootconfig.h.
Since the bootconfig library code needs bootconfig.h but I don't like to make
a copy of the bootconfig.h under the tools directory, I made a dummy header
file which links to the kernel's bootconfig.h.
Thank you,
