Subject: [PATCH 12/24] kbuild, soc: sunxi: sram: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 14:10:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230217141059.392471-13-nick.alcock@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230217141059.392471-1-nick.alcock@oracle.com>
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.
