I guess you meant makemapdata?

Long-term-wise this patchset will need a bit of work to properly install
the genmap tool so the user can call it.  I'm here mostly making sure
to put into the Linux kernel how speakupmap.h is generated (rather
than the currently very magic file), while at the same time keeping
the separation between makemapdata and genmap that will make sense
longterm-wise.
