From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Subject: [PATCH] scsi: csiostor: remove unneeded DRIVER_LICENSE #define Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 15:21:22 +0100 Message-ID: <20171117142122.GF17880@kroah.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Return-path: Received: from mail.linuxfoundation.org ([140.211.169.12]:35792 "EHLO mail.linuxfoundation.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S933834AbdKQOVR (ORCPT ); Fri, 17 Nov 2017 09:21:17 -0500 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-scsi-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org To: "James E.J. Bottomley" , "Martin K. Petersen" , Varun Prakash Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Philippe Ombredanne , linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org There is no need to #define the license of the driver, just put it in the MODULE_LICENSE() line directly as a text string. This allows tools that check that the module license matches the source code license to work properly, as there is no need to unwind the unneeded dereference, especially when the string is defined in a .h file far away from the .c file it is used in.
