Subject: [PATCH] V4L: v4l2-common: remove incorrect MODULE test
v4l2-common doesn't have to be a module for it to call request_module().
Just remove that test.
Without this patch loading ivtv as a module while v4l2-common is compiled
into the kernel will cause a delayed load of the i2c modules that ivtv
needs since request_module is never called directly.
While it is nice to see the delayed load in action, it is not so nice in
that ivtv fails to do a lot of necessary i2c initializations and will oops
later on with a division-by-zero.
Thanks to Mark Lord for reporting this and helping me figure out what was
wrong.
