This happens when (bool) CONFIG_FW_UPLOAD=y and CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m.
Ah, it's the old "bool depending on a tristate" problem.

There may be some Makefile fix for this - I don't know.

Or the Kconfig fix works AFAICT (below). Change FW_UPLOAD to a tristate
and modify 2 header files for exports/inlines.

Luis -- how was FW_LOADER=m and FW_UPLOAD=y supposed to work?

Thanks.
