Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] module: Remove obsolete __MODULE_STRING()
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 10:31:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002-module-string-v2-3-fc7438acaf4d@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002-module-string-v2-0-fc7438acaf4d@suse.com>
__MODULE_STRING() has been an alias for __stringify() since "[PATCH]
MODULE_PARM support for older modules" [1] in 2002-12. That change also
moved it to the graveyard section at the end of linux/module.h
Remove __MODULE_STRING() now that all remaining uses have been replaced
directly with __stringify().
