All those prefixes are wrong. The variables in the .mk file should be
prefixed by SITEC_S4_LP, not BR2_PACKAGE_SITEC_S4_LP.

As your .mk file is written, none of those variables are taken into
account, so it's exactly as if your file contained just:

$(eval $(kernel-module))
$(eval $(generic-package))

Best regards,

Thomas
