    kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Fix parsing Makefile with variables · 364212fd
    Steven Rostedt authored
    Thomas Lange reported that when he did a 'make localmodconfig', his
    config was missing the brcmsmac driver, even though he had the module
    loaded.
    
    Looking into this, I found the file:
    drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/Makefile
    had the following in the Makefile:
    
    MODULEPFX := brcmsmac
    
    obj-$(CONFIG_BRCMSMAC)  += $(MODULEPFX).o
    
    The way streamline-config.pl works, is parsing all the
     obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o
    lines to find that CONFIG_FOO belongs to the module foo.ko.
    
    But in this case, the brcmsmac.o was not used, but a variable in its place.
    
    By changing streamline-config.pl to remember defined variables in Makefiles
    and substituting them when they are used in the obj-X lines, allows
    Thomas (and others) to have their brcmsmac module stay configured
    when it is loaded and running "make localmodconfig".
