It sounds to be due to a Makefile mess:

	drivers/media/i2c/Makefile:rdacm20-camera_module-objs   := rdacm20.o max9271.o
	drivers/media/i2c/Makefile:rdacm21-camera_module-objs   := rdacm21.o max9271.o

Neither drivers should be including max9271.o as their objects, but, instead,
be addressing max9271 dependency via Kconfig.

Thanks,
