A powerpc ppc64_defconfig produces:

warning: same basename if the following are built as modules:
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/nvram.ko
drivers/char/nvram.ko

Which is a false positive since
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/Makefile has

# CONFIG_NVRAM is an arch. independent tristate symbol, for pmac32 we really
# need this to be a bool. Cheat here and pretend CONFIG_NVRAM=m is really
# CONFIG_NVRAM=y
obj-$(CONFIG_NVRAM:m=y) += nvram.o

Which means that this nvram.o will never be built as a module.
