Did you test this? It won't work. Indeed in this case, you are sharing
a shell variable between multiple commands, so they must be a single
shell command.

It can however probably be rewritten in make like this:

define FBTFT_PREPARE_KERNEL_INNER
	mkdir -p $(LINUX_DIR)/$(1)/fbtft
	cp -dpfr $(FBTFT_DIR)/* $(LINUX_DIR)/$(1)/fbtft/
	echo "source \"$(1)/fbtft/Kconfig\"" \
		>> $(LINUX_DIR)/$(1)/Kconfig
	echo 'obj-y += fbtft/' >> $(LINUX_DIR)/$(1)/Makefile
endef

define FBTFT_PREPARE_KERNEL
	$(if $(wildcard $(LINUX_DIR)/drivers/video/fbdev), \
		$(call FBTFT_PREPARE_KERNEL_INNER,drivers/video/fbdev), \
		$(call FBTFT_PREPARE_KERNEL_INNER,drivers/video/) \
	)
endef

However, I am not sure it is really more readable.
