(Unless anything has changed dramatically in the last year:) Dependencies are calculated automatically on the basis of symbols that you use in your module. If you look at genmoddep.awk and work out from there you can get a handle on the process. If you only use symbols provided by the ‘kernel’, then you won’t have any dependencies.
If you are writing a new module, make sure it’s specified in Makefile.core.def and you’ve regenerated the necessary files. (From memory I used to need a full bootstrap to get changes to percolate through.)
