These are lines containing the LOCK_SECTION_START macro.  The definition
in include/linux/spinlock.h uses the KBUILD_BASENAME macro.

The error messages may indicate that the code expects the value of the
macro to be a string literal (but ALSA's definition isn't).

Please try adding quotes around the four KBUILD_BASENAME definitions in
alsa-driver/Rules.make, like this:

	... -DKBUILD_BASENAME=\"$(subst ...)\" $...
