Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: Add helper macro for comedi_driver boilerplate
Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 17:20:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201205011720.04599.hartleys@visionengravers.com> (raw)

Introduce the module_comedi_driver macro which is a convenience
macro for comedi driver modules similar to module_platform_driver.
It is intended to be used by drivers where the init/exit section
does nothing but register/unregister the comedi driver. By using
this macro it is possible to eliminate a few lines of boilerplate
code per comedi driver.
