Subject: [PATCH] gpib: remove unnecessary module_init/exit functions
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:55:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260131015556.44402-1-enelsonmoore@gmail.com> (raw)
Two GPIB drivers have unnecessary empty module_init and module_exit
functions. Remove them. Note that if a module_init function exists, a
module_exit function must also exist; otherwise, the module cannot be
unloaded.
