Hi Ben,

thanks for your reply.

mhh, I meant here:

Currently we have only one-file supporting like:

obj-$(CONFIG_IEEE802154_6LOWPAN) += 6lowpan.o

It's generate a 6lowpan.ko from a 6lowpan.c file.

Now we need some multiple-file supporting and I change it to:

obj-$(CONFIG_IEEE802154_6LOWPAN) += 6lowpan.o
6lowpan-y := 6lowpan_rtnl.o reassembly.o

to generate a still the 6lowpan.ko module with object files of
6lowpan_rtnl.o (which contains mostly some rtnl callbacks implementations
now) and reassembly.o file.

It's to support multiple files for a module only.

I can't do something like:

obj-$(CONFIG_IEEE802154_6LOWPAN) += 6lowpan.o
6lowpan-y := 6lowpan.o reassembly.o

because I have the same name for 6lowpan.c and 6lowpan.ko.

Is there maybe a better solution for this?

btw.

I also detected:

obj-$(CONFIG_6LOWPAN_IPHC) += 6lowpan_iphc.o

which is a seperate module. (if you selected it as module) but this
makes no sense, we should built it in 6lowpan.ko like:

6lowpan-y := 6lowpan_rtnl.o 6lowpan_iphc.o reassembly.o

aswell.
