Most Makefiles don't use a space before the 'y', but since you tested it,
I guess either way works.

Pretty sure whitespace isn't used as a delimiter in this construct. I could be mistaken. But yes, it's perfectly serviceable.

But why do this in the Makefile at all?  Why not just add another Kconfig
symbol and simplify the Makefile?

+obj-$(CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU) += amd_iommu_debugfs.o
+endif


This was brought up a few weeks ago in, I believe, version 3 of this patch. That question was discussed (because that's what I did the first time out), and _someone_ _else_ asked about why I didn't just do it the way I've done it here.

Everyone has a preference.

I chose to simplify the choices and avoid multiple symbols, instead opting for two switches: choose your device, and decide on Debug FS enablement for it. IMO Very simple.

I can't fathom a scenario where this wouldn't work. Is there one?
