I assume Andrew once built in that tree using the recent logo patches that
  1. Makes the logos const and switch them from __initdata to __initconst,
  2. Fix the missing dependency of the generated files on the generator program.
Hence if you revert the logo patches, you have to manually remove the generated
files.

Is my assumption correct?
