Maybe add:
Fixes: 4db20e7d79 ("kirk: move kirk source code inside tools/kirk/kirk-src")

LGTM.

FYI tools/sparse/Makefile runs 'git submodule update --init' if source code
does not exists:

$(SPARSE_SRC)/Makefile:
ifeq ($(SPARSE_SRC),sparse-src)
	git submodule update --init
else
	$(error "Can't find $(SPARSE_SRC)/Makefile")
endif

Because it filters out tools/sparse in tools/Makefile, this gets applied only
when sparse is really needed (i.e. via 'make check' or cd into the directory).

Although I acked the change to move Makefile to LTP, thinking about it twice I'm
not convinced that it's a much better solution than keeping Makefile outside. I
understand you don't want to keep LTP specific Makefile in kirk, but having to
keep kirk paths in LTP is not optimal either (during experimenting with a
different version one will have to update the Makefile).

Kind regards,
Petr
