SubjectRe: [PATCH 11/27] kbuild, clk: bcm2835: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules
From
Date
Quoting Nick Alcock (2023-02-22 04:14:37)
> 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.
