The streamline_config.pl mentions use of ${} in comments itself:

# add to the configs hash all configs that are needed to enable
# a loaded module. This is a direct obj-${CONFIG_FOO} += bar.o
# where we know we need bar.o so we add FOO to the list.

So I think it should be made to support this.

There are bunch of other symbols that generate the same (after the above
fix from you), not just Thunderbolt so figuring that out and fix would
be the way forward I think. However, my perl skills are are not up to
this task at the moment. I can take a look but cannot promise that I
figure a solution.
