that makes kernel have two copies of common.o one in thsi driver and one

Does it? It's a common pattern in several Makefiles (e.g.
drivers/net/ethernet/8390/Makefile and drivers/scsi/Makefile)

won't each static symbol be part each one? What about when they are
modules?

in previous one why not do:

CONFIG_FSL_COMMON += fsl-edma-common.o
CONFIG_FSL_EDMA += fsl-edma.o
CONFIG_MCF_EDMA += mcf-edma.o

and you select CONFIG_FSL_COMMON in both FSL and MCF Kconfig?

That's what he had originally, until I suggested to do the above, as
nothing else
needed the CONFIG_FSL_COMMON symbol.

Hmmm, okay what are we gaining from this approach?
