Subject[PATCH v2 2/2] efi/libstub: refactor Makefile to not use lib-y syntax
Date
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst says:

Use of lib-y is normally restricted to `lib/` and `arch/*/lib`.

This is because lib-y is inteded to be hooked to KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS,
which is passed down to scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Besides, lib-y is not so interesting because objects from lib-y are
mostly linked in normal usecases. For example, lib-y only saves 364
bytes for x86_64_defconfig. You can see the details in commit
7273ad2b08f8 ("kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when
CONFIG_MODULES=y").

I think we should consider to deprecate lib-y syntax at some point
because we should aim for better solution like dead code elimination
or LTO.

Other than lib/ and arch/*/lib, this Makefile is the only user of
lib-y. Replace lib-y with a custom rule.
