Hmm, I think Kbuild expects lib.a only for the final link
(at least in official level)
Is it a problem to compile common files all the time?

# Common objects
obj-y += ccu_common.o
obj-y += ccu_reset.o


We may end up with some unused functions in vmlinux,
but it will not be a big impact on the image size in this case.

CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION may
take care of unused symbols.  I have not tested this CONFIG, though.
