I'm assuming this will eventually be properly patched in the main tree
- meanwhile anyone building ARM code can apply this patch

This is quite annoying, particularly if you should test patches already in that tree or against that. IMHO the arm.git should contain the fix temporarily to be able to build cleanly instead of staying with a broken tree.
You're damn right it's annoying, but applying the fix to every single arch tree just isn't the right solution. That will cause mayhem when it turns out that every arch maintainer picked up a different fix among the 6 or so that were posted.
But if Wolfgang doesn't wake up and apply a fix pretty soon, I guess that might be exactly what's going to happen.
To workaround I would propose that you test MAKEALL against mainline U-Boot git.
Won't help since it's mainline that is broken.
Uups, yes. Last time I tried mainline it worked, so I thought only arm.git has this issue.
But testing arm.git and mainline git from today, yes, *both* stop with
mpc8xxx_spi.c:26:29: error: asm/mpc8xxx_spi.h: No such file or directory
At least for (ARM based) davinci_dvevm_config I tried.
Sorry for the confusion.
And it's not only ARM -- every single architecture except PPC has been broken for several weeks.
Seems that we should asap have a fix for this.
Dirk
The first fix was posted less than three hours after the breakage was introduced, but no fix has yet been merged.
I'm starting to get seriously pissed off about this whole situation and how it's been handled. Wolfgang, you can't with a straight face demand that people always run the latest git snapshot WHEN IT DOESN'T EVEN BUILD AND HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS!
