+From 3a35611687864cf3599712d0d2ff54532b0118ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Alexander Kanavin <alex@linutronix.de>

+Subject: [PATCH] m4/ax_python_devel.m4: do not check for distutils
+
+With py 3.10 this prints a deprecation warning which is
+taken as an error. Upstream should rework the code to not
+use distuils.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [needs a proper fix upstream]
+Signed-off-by: Alexander Kanavin <alex@linutronix.de>
