The above files are normal .o files, that should be linked in.
So what you do is to rename the above files to:
dhw.o_shipped
dap.o_shipped
dmgr.o_shipped
dcfg.o_shipped

And then in your makefile specify:

obj-m	:= cs110.o
cs110-y := dhw.o dap.o dmgr.o dcfg.o
cs110-y += <additional .o files compield from .c files>

Maybe you can specify the .a file direct replacing the four .o file - 
should work but I have not tried.

That patch was crap - the _shipped functionality covers this nicely.

Should be:   nokia_c110-y := dllc.o dtools.o dhw.o dap.o dmgr.o dcfg.o
See also example above.

Looks OK except for the s/module/nokia_cs110/ point.
