Ah, thanks, I can see what's happening now. When both the M101 and M105
drivers are built into the kernel, asyncdata.o gets linked in twice, via

	usb_gigaset-y := usb-gigaset.o asyncdata.o
	obj-$(CONFIG_GIGASET_M105) += usb_gigaset.o gigaset.o

and

	ser_gigaset-y := ser-gigaset.o asyncdata.o
	obj-$(CONFIG_GIGASET_M101) += ser_gigaset.o gigaset.o

The assertion in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt:

        The order of files in $(obj-y) is significant.  Duplicates in
        the lists are allowed: the first instance will be linked into
        built-in.o and succeeding instances will be ignored.

doesn't work out in this case because asyncdata.o isn't added directly
to $(obj-y), but as part of usb_gigaset.o and ser_gigaset.o.

I'm not quite happy with your solution, though. I'd prefer a
Makefile which builds modular usb_gigaset.ko and/or ser_gigaset.ko
like the present one (including asyncdata.o), but when linking
usb-gigaset.o and ser-gigaset.o into the kernel includes asyncdata.o
only once. Trouble is, I don't know how to express that in Kbuild.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tilman
