Subject: [PATCH 8/8] kbuild, PCI: microchip: comment out MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 16:47:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230210164749.368998-9-nick.alcock@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230210164749.368998-1-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 comment out all uses of MODULE_LICENSE that are not in real modules
(the license declaration is left in as documentation).
