You can't make it conditional on that since a built-in esp_scsi could
have modular users.

scsi_esp_register() is also buggy since it's impossible that the
EXPORT_SYMBOL(scsi_esp_register) works in the CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n case when
it's __devinit - it will always Oops.

Having anything exported __{,dev}{init,exit} is always very likely to be
buggy.

<-- snip -->


Since scsi_esp_{,un}register() are EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed, these functions
(and the functions they use) can't be __dev{init,exit}.

Based on a bug report by Rob Landley.
