This doesn't cross compile for me on arm64 with two different toolchains

CC drivers/misc/lkdtm.o
/tmp/ccHzIWIx.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccHzIWIx.s:21: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `#'
/tmp/ccHzIWIx.s: Error: unaligned opcodes detected in executable segment
scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target 'drivers/misc/lkdtm.o' failed

I don't know the assembler well enough to give any insight.

Thanks,
Laura
