Whichever makes the most sense, when there is a directory involved, my
preference is to always recurse in that directory and selectively
compile from there, since the Kconfig/Makefile options are all located
within the same hierarchical level, just a preference.
It turns out that the way I changed it in v9 prevents the driver from
being built as a module. I changed the wrong Makefile. I will have to
post a v10.
