Subject: [PATCH] x86: don't use module_init in non-modular intel_mid_vrtc.c
Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2014 12:50:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389549018-1249-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)
The X86_INTEL_MID option is bool, and hence this code is either
present or absent. It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- it will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.
