In drivers/firewire/Makefile for example, there is this:

	firewire-core-y += core-card.o core-cdev.o core-device.o \
	                   core-iso.o core-topology.o core-transaction.o
	firewire-ohci-y += ohci.o
	firewire-sbp2-y += sbp2.o
	firewire-net-y  += net.o

Which is impractical though if there are more than a handful of drivers
involved.
