	It's also worth noticing that with this setup, you'll have to add an 
entry to the Kconfig script so that "make <whatever>config" sets this 
variable y/m/n.

	If you want your driver to be compiled-in the kernel by default 
(regardless of the user's opinion), please change it to:

	'subdir-y += my_subdir'.

	And it should work fine.

	Hope this helps,

Felipe
