Thank you! I was previously not aware of that distinction. Two small
notes:

  - There is a typo in the subject line.
  - With that change, the ifeq could be placed in-line (see note below).

All in all looks good to me (assuming the typo gets fixed).

I believe it should now be possible to write this as

     surface_aggregator-$(CONFIG_SURFACE_AGGREGATOR_BUS) += bus.o

which might be a bit cleaner. Don't have much of a preference though so
I'd also be fine with keeping the ifeq.
