I agree that in the first patch it is not logical
to use if but problem is that final Makefile.objs
needs to resolve operating system logic and other
conditions.

ifeq ($(CONFIG_CAN_BUS),y)
common-obj-y += can_core.o
ifeq ($(CONFIG_LINUX),y)
common-obj-y += can_socketcan.o
else
common-obj-y += can_host_stub.o
endif
common-obj-$(CONFIG_CAN_SJA1000) += can_sja1000.o
common-obj-$(CONFIG_CAN_PCI) += can_kvaser_pci.o
common-obj-$(CONFIG_CAN_PCI) += can_pcm3680_pci.o
common-obj-$(CONFIG_CAN_PCI) += can_mioe3680_pci.o
endif

If there is Kconfig style system
controlling mutual options combination then plain
common-obj-$(CONFIG_*) would work but it is not
the case and I have followed seen in another QEMU 

I have followed style found in another subsystems

qemu-git/hw/smbios/Makefile.objs

ifeq ($(CONFIG_SMBIOS),y)
common-obj-y += smbios.o
common-obj-$(CONFIG_IPMI) += smbios_type_38.o
common-obj-$(call lnot,$(CONFIG_IPMI)) += smbios_type_38-stub.o
else
common-obj-y += smbios-stub.o
endif

common-obj-$(CONFIG_ALL) += smbios-stub.o
common-obj-$(CONFIG_ALL) += smbios_type_38-stub.o

qemu-git/hw/timer/Makefile.objs

...
...
qemu-git/hw/vfio/Makefile.objs

I am not sure how to resolve these conditions better way.

Best wishes,

Pavel
