The dependency will be checked anyway after Kbuild descends into a
sub-directory. Skip object/source dependency checks in top Makefile.
VPATH can be simpler since the top Makefile no longer checks the
preprense of the source file, which is located in in the external
module directory.
[Pros]
- Code is cleaner
- It can compile an object from a generated source file
For example,
$ make crypto/rsapubkey.asn1.o
...
ASN.1 crypto/rsapubkey.asn1.c
CC crypto/rsapubkey.asn1.o
[Cons]
- The top Makefile does not let it fail immediately when a user tries
to build a wrong object.
