Makes sense to me. However, the CONFIG_ variables used in the Makefiles 
are never "n", they are "y", "m" or undefined.

In Config.in scripts you have to cater for "n" or "", and I've seen 
various people on l-k carry this behavior into the Makefiles, but there 
it's unnecessary for all I can tell.

So

ifdef CONFIG_LLC
obj-y += ext8022.o
endif

should do the job just fine.
