obj-y specifies objects linked into vmlinux, but they are actually linked if and only if that sub-directory is visited by the chain of obj-y. If you have an orphan obj-y object, it is a bug, but may not be easy to notice. This commit provides build-time warning. I tested x86 allmodconfig based on v5.3-rc4, and I saw one warning: warning: 'sound/soc/sprd/sprd-mcdt.o' will not be linked to vmlinux even though obj-y is specified. This is a proper warning. sound/soc/sprd/sprd-mcdt.o is compiled as built-in since CONFIG_SND_SOC_SPRD_MCDT is boolean. However, CONFIG_SND and CONFIG_SND_SOC are tristate, and set to m by allmodconfig. So, Kbuild descends into sound/soc/, then sound/soc/sprd/ by obj-m. Thus, sound/soc/sprd/sprd-mcdt.o is not linked to vmlinux. More warnings for arm allmodconfig, all of which are valid: warning: 'drivers/video/fbdev/mmp/hw/mmp_ctrl.o' 'drivers/video/fbdev/mmp/hw/mmp_spi.o' will not be linked to vmlinux even though obj-y is specified. warning: 'drivers/video/fbdev/mmp/panel/tpo_tj032md01bw.o' will not be linked to vmlinux even though obj-y is specified. warning: 'sound/soc/pxa/mmp-pcm.o' will not be linked to vmlinux even though obj-y is specified.
