[PATCH v2 0/3] Remove obsolete __MODULE_STRING()

[PATCH v2 0/3] Remove obsolete __MODULE_STRING()

[Petr Pavlu]

__MODULE_STRING() has been an alias for __stringify() since "[PATCH]
MODULE_PARM support for older modules" [1] in 2002-12. That change also
moved it to the graveyard section at the end of linux/module.h

Replace the remaining uses of __MODULE_STRING() with __stringify() and
remove the macro.

Apologies for the wide distribution. Acked-bys are appreciated.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on top of next-20260930.
- Drop 'watchdog: Replace __MODULE_STRING() with __stringify()' since it
  has already been queued on watchdog-next.
- Split the hwmon changes into a separate patch.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260922-module-string-v1-0-c18766690185@suse.com

[PATCH v2 3/3] module: Remove obsolete __MODULE_STRING()

[Petr Pavlu]

__MODULE_STRING() has been an alias for __stringify() since "[PATCH]
MODULE_PARM support for older modules" [1] in 2002-12. That change also
moved it to the graveyard section at the end of linux/module.h

Remove __MODULE_STRING() now that all remaining uses have been replaced
directly with __stringify().
