Yes, I was able to have nsdeps work for composite modules with just my
patch. Without this patch applied, the script produces the following
expansion of the generate_deps_for_ns call, (I just added a test
namespace MODULE):

Adding namespace MODULE to module fs/nfs/nfs.ko.
+ generate_deps_for_ns MODULE /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/client.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/dir.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/file.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/getroot.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/inode.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/super.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/io.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/direct.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/pagelist.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/read.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/symlink.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/unlink.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/write.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/namespace.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/mount_clnt.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/nfstrace.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/export.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/sysfs.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/sysctl.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/fscache.c /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/fscache-index.c
+ /usr/bin/spatch --very-quiet --in-place --sp-file /tmp/ppyu/linux/scripts/coccinelle/misc/add_namespace.cocci -D ns=MODULE /tmp/ppyu/linux/fs/nfs/client.c

So only the first file got included in the spatch invocation. But the
spatch call gets fixed with all the files when quotes are added in the
call to generate_deps_for_ns.

But we need to include your change anyway, to make the script more
robust. It would probably prevent more shell script related bugs in
the future (Like [1]). I can respin this patch only while the other
ones are superceded by your patchset.
