I don't think anyone can claim copyright on two lines of actual kbuild code.

This comment is antirely superflous.

+obj-$(CONFIG_ATL1) += atl1.o
+
+atl1-objs := atl1_main.o atl1_hw.o atl1_ethtool.o atl1_param.o

Thi should be atl1-y += ...

In short the whole contents of this file should be:

---------------- snip ----------------
obj-$(CONFIG_ATL1)	+= atl1.o
atl1-y			+= atl1_main.o atl1_hw.o atl1_ethtool.o atl1_param.o
---------------- snip ----------------


Good point. The original Attansic driver had a whole bunch of legacy compat crap, documentation build targets left over from e1000, etc. which we've been modifying and mostly just removing. We don't really need this for merging. If Attansic wants to maintain something out of tree for legacy kernels, they might want to reinsert this, but we really don't need it.

Thanks for pointing this out.
