Fresh Git version - undefined reference to `vlan_find' - cpservicespb - 2020-04-19 23:48

Error is appeared during build the freshest git version:
Code:

I saw in netdevice.c of Git version from Aug, 08, 19.
There is
Code:
/**
* Identify VLAN device (when VLAN support is not present)
*
* @v trunk                    Trunk network device
* @v tag                      VLAN tag
* @ret netdev               VLAN device, if any
*/
__weak struct net_device * vlan_find ( struct net_device *trunk __unused,
                                                      unsigned int tag __unused ) {
            return NULL;
}

But there is no such fiunction sceleton in netdevice.c of freshest Git version.

But there is in vlan.c file.

What is incorrect ?

I almoste resolved the issue by my own.

There are links where attempting to do "Strip 802.1Q VLAN 0 priority tags" so is represented.
Moreover there is the patch in Debian rules for building iPXE deb package for Ubuntu.

Both links I think almost the same.
Link1: https://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-devel/2016-July/005099.html
Link2: https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+git/ipxe/+merge/360679

I made additionally investigation and for freshest git version there are 2 changes are required more:
vlan.c = remove static for <vlan_find> function;

was
Code:
static struct net_device * vlan_find ( struct net_device *trunk,
                                            unsigned int tag ) {
became:
Code:
struct net_device * vlan_find ( struct net_device *trunk,
                                            unsigned int tag ) {

vlan.h = define as extern <vlan_find> function;
add
Code:
extern struct net_device * vlan_find ( struct net_device *trunk,
                                            unsigned int tag ) ;

Otherwise error for vlan_find unrecognized symbol will be got during ld stage.
