Subject: [PATCH 0/2] kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Fix missed module loaded

Linus,

I received a bug report from Thomas Lange, saying that after doing
a "make localmodconfig" his module 'brcmsmac' was missing. He tried
this on a few different kernels and said that it was always turning
off this module even though he had it loaded during the make localmodconfig.

I looked into it and found that that Makefile uses a variable to set
the module name:

obj-$(CONFIG_BRCMSMAC)  += $(MODULEPFX).o

These two patches make localmodconfig handle this case.

The first patch is a clean up that makes the second patch easier to do.

I'm also sending these to stable.
