kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Fix parsing Makefile with variables
Thomas Lange reported that when he did a 'make localmodconfig', his config was missing the brcmsmac driver, even though he had the module loaded. Looking into this, I found the file: drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/Makefile had the following in the Makefile: MODULEPFX := brcmsmac obj-$(CONFIG_BRCMSMAC) += $(MODULEPFX).o The way streamline-config.pl works, is parsing all the obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o lines to find that CONFIG_FOO belongs to the module foo.ko. But in this case, the brcmsmac.o was not used, but a variable in its place. By changing streamline-config.pl to remember defined variables in Makefiles and substituting them when they are used in the obj-X lines, allows Thomas (and others) to have their brcmsmac module stay configured when it is loaded and running "make localmodconfig".
