I applied the patch to kbuild.git#kbuild, but can you tell me with which
commit and config you get such failure. I only see a single
MODULE_FIRMWARE() call in the expansion of BRCMF_FW_NVRAM_DEF(), which
should work with line numbers as well. And I can't reproduce it with
today's linux-next. If there is some issue with code not yet in
linux-next, it needs to be worked around, because older GCCs did not
have __COUNTER__.
