Subject: [PATCH v2] mmc: remove unnecessary module_init/exit functions
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2026 17:23:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203012322.20827-1-enelsonmoore@gmail.com> (raw)
Three MMC drivers have unnecessary module_init and module_exit
functions that are empty or just print a message. Drivers that do not
have module_init or module_exit functions can still be unloaded
successfully. Remove them.
---
Changes from v1:
Rebase on latest mmc next branch
Improve commit message
