I've been going around with Jorge for a couple of days with this.  He

this error in local builds.

Works for me with GNU Make 3.81 on Ubuntu 12.04.  I didn't remove
anything from Kbuild in the patch I sent you as I didn't hit this issue,
but the bit of logic involved only tends to make sense when the driver
is built out-of-tree.  So in this context I think it can be simplified
as Scott suggested (i.e. by removing the license test) as we know it's
all GPL.

on my side it builds fine (I havent been able to reproduce the error using the
following)
