There are some makefiles that look at CONFIG_XXXX variables to make
decisions. For example, drivers/power/Makefile has the following
lines:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_SYSFS),y)
power_supply-objs += power_supply_sysfs.o
endif
If I run make clean or make mrproper, it doesn't see CONFIG_SYSFS set
anymore so it doesn't cleanup power_supply_sysfs.o.
This is for 2.6.25, but I think this use to work for 2.6.21. I am
using drivers/power/Makefile as an example, but I am seeing the same
thing for my driver's Makefile.
Thanks in advance.

By bad, drivers/power/Makefile is ok.
I thought I reproduced the issue there.

We use find to delete all .o files. So the content of your Kbuild file
should not matter here.
Can you describe the setup where you see the issue?
