I do not like the idea much for the following reasons.



 - The string value in Kconfig is enclosed by double-quotes.

   In the .config file,

      CONFIG_XTENSA_PLATFORM="iss"


   So, you are doing

        obj-y  += "iss"/

   instead of

        obj-y  += iss/


   Still, it seems working because the shell will eventually
   get rid of double quotes, but that is not correct
   from the Kbuild perspective.

   You need to write like this:

       obj-y += $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_XTENSA_PLATFORM))


- 'make clean' does not include any CONFIG option.

   So,

   obj-y += $(CONFIG_XTENSA_PLATFORM)/

      will expand into:

   obj-y += /


   Luckily, Kbuild will ignore it.
   Kbuild will not try to clean the root directory, but this code
      scares me.

 - Kbuild cannot know the sub-directories of arch/xtensa/platforms/.
   So, you need to list the subdirectories anyway so 'make clean'
   can visit all the sub-directories.

   arch/xtensa/platforms/Makefile

      # for 'make clean'
      obj-  += iss/ xt2000/ xtfpga/
