It is no problem to use the same Makefile for both 2.4.x and 2.5.x, and even let the Makefile do the RightThing[tm] in case the user just types 'make'. My Makefiles for kernel stuff look like this (stripped down a bit):
==============================[ cut here ]==============================
ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),) # call from kernel build system
obj-m := btaudio.o
-include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make
else
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd)
default: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
endif
==============================[ cut here ]==============================
If you need different stuff for 2.4.x and 2.5.x you can handle it using ifeq ($(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL),2.4)
