Thanks.

Gah.  Looks like it's been that way since at least 2014, too.

I think we could rename it to crypto_crc32, but I don't think it's the
only one.  Marco, I think depmod should probably FAIL if two modules
have the same name, which would at least find such problems.

(BTW is there a nice way to figure out if a config var is a tristate?  These
are only problematic if both CONFIG_ are tristate.)

Here's a hacky attempt to look for problems:

rusty@rusty-Lemur:~/devel/kernel/linux (master)$ KCONFIGS=`find * -name 'Kconfig*'`; for m in `find [b-z]* -name 'Makefile*'`; do sed -n 's,obj-\$(CONFIG.*+= \([a-z0-9_-]\+\.o\)$,'$m' \1,p' <$m | sort -u; done | sort -k 2 | uniq -D -f 1 | while read m obj; do fgrep -w $obj $m /dev/null; done | while read LINE; do conf=`echo $LINE | sed 's/.*\$(CONFIG_\([A-Z0-9_]*\).*/\1/'`; if grep -C2 "^config $conf\$" $KCONFIGS | fgrep -q tristate; then echo $LINE; fi; done

Here are the results (mildly filtered by me):

Can maintainers please tell me which of these are harmless?
