    scsi: fix dependency bug in aic7 Makefile · 8891fec6
    Sam Ravnborg authored
    Building the aic7xxx driver includes the copy
    of an .h file from a _shipped file.
    
    In a highly parallel build Ingo saw that the
    build sometimes failed (included distcc usage).
    It was tracked down to a missing dependency from the .c
    source file to the generated .h file.
    We started to build the .c file before the
    copy (cat) operation of the .h file completed
    and we then only got half of the definitions
    from the copied .h file.
    
    Add an explicit dependency from the .c files to the
    generated .h files so make knows all dependencies and
    finsih the build of the .h files before it starts
    building the .o files.
    
    Ingo tested this fix and reported:
    good news: hundreds of successful kernel builds and no failures
    overnight.
