Subject: Re: [PATCH 13/24] kbuild, clk: bm1880: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 14:43:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1c249c45ef3ac3c4904e0f5a3da11637.sboyd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230217141059.392471-14-nick.alcock@oracle.com>
Quoting Nick Alcock (2023-02-17 06:10:48)
> Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
> Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
> are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
> in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
> object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
> might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
>
> So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
> modules.
