Re: [PATCH v7 11/14] mpam,x86/resctrl: Resolve INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY symbols at runtime

["Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com>]

With renamed variable, and comment. Is this clearer?


/*
 * intel_aet_register_enumeration() provides the value of "THIS_MODULE"
 * from the the pmt_telemetry module. Note that this is NULL when
 * CONFIG_INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY=y so it serves as a flag to decide whether
 * try_module_get() and module_put() need to be called.
