Are you sure? We have

obj-$(CONFIG_IWLWIFI)   += iwlwifi.o

and then "iwlwifi-y += ...", but I was under the impression that
iwlwifi.o didn't really pick up iwlwifi-m automatically, that's not
something that you'd normally do, normally -m only makes sense to build
a module using "obj-m", just here we do it for the mvm sub level
stuff...
