Creates new Makefile to avoid building driver if

This driver is usually built from arch/$ARCH and seems to have
no meaning building alone.

Oh, it's a Makefile, and as all text files, it have to end with newline.
If I am wrong, please let me know.

No, that's fine. But it means it has to have one LF after "tree.". It had none, now it hat 2.
