No one else needs this boiler plate - please remove it.

a) use of -objs is deprecated.
Please use:
bfa-y := bfad.o ...

b) As a style thing the following is preferred (by me at least):
bfa-y := bfad.o bfad_intr.o bfad_os.o bfad_im.o bfad_attr.o bfad_fwimg.o

# core stuff 
bfa-y += bfa_core.o bfa_ioc.o bfa_iocfc.o bfa_fcxp.o bfa_diag.o

# interrup hander
bfa-y += bfa_intr.o 

No longer any need for escaping the newline with a backslahs
And you can add descriptive comments too.

> +EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I$(obj) -I$(obj)/include

Neither of the above is needed.
If you really need to specify addtional options to gcc use:
ccflags-y := ...
