[PATCH] char: xilinx_hwicap: Remove .owner field for driver

From: Michal Simek <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-13 12:02:11
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: char and misc drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

There is no need to init .owner field.

Based on the patch from Peter Griffin [off-list ref]
"mmc: remove .owner field for drivers using module_platform_driver"

This patch removes the superflous .owner field for drivers which
use the module_platform_driver API, as this is overriden in
platform_driver_register anyway."
