I don't see this as an "issue" to be quite honest.

(Off topic: is issue a, well, strong word? To my (non-English) mind it's
rather neutral, carrying by itself less urgency than, say, problem. If
I'm wrong I might have confused quite a few people by using it quite
often. And that would be a real issue!)

By saying that, I at
least agree with you that these are not information that's mandatory to
be in the driver given what we already have. MODULE_LICENSE is covered
by license header. MODULE_DESCRIPTION is covered by descriptions in
Kconfig. MODULE_AUTHOR is much less important than what's in the
MAINTAINERS list.

Since I have to submit a new patch series to address the "ngpios" issue
that Linus mentioned in the other email, I don't mind removing all these
MODULE_* macros in the driver all together.

I see.

Thanks,
