[PATCH] EISA: Move devlist.h out of obj to always

[PATCH] EISA: Move devlist.h out of obj to always

[Kees Cook]

I put devlist.h into the wrong Makefile macro ("obj") to get it included
in "targets". Put it into "always" so nothing tries to link against it.
Solves CONFIG_EISA=y i386 build failure:

ld: vmlinux.a: member drivers/eisa/devlist.h in archive is not an object

Please merge this patch. The build failure is killing lots of i386 builds.
Thanks.

AFAIK, this needs to go via Greg's tree, but I can see if I can send it
to Linus directly.

Greg told me that it belongs to one of your trees, but Greg did
merge the previous eisa/Makefile patch.

Ah, I thought that was in Kees's tree, sorry about that.  I'll take this
then, my fault.

Greg, please take this into your -next tree. The commit it fixes isn't
in Linus's tree, so I don't have any way to land it sanely in -next.
