Hi, Daniel
Subject: Re: [PATCH V4 0/9] Support i.MX8 SoCs pinctrl drivers built as module

Hi Anson,

Patch series mostly looks good to me. I have a comment about adding

the MODULE_LICENSE. This is a pretty important change.


Can you please add this change in a separate patch with a proper explanation

of why it is needed.


Most likely it is because it was forgotten in the previous patches.
Yes, it is obviously missed in the previous patches, as previously these pinctrl drivers
do NOT support module build at all.

And MODULE_LICENSE is a MUST when drivers supporting module build, build will report failure
if module license missed, so I think it is also part of the module build support patch,
do you mean it is better to add a separate patch to add the MODULE_LICENSE to all pinctrl drivers missing it?
Maybe we can get more opinion from maintainer, I am NOT very sure whether it is better to separate
the module license as a single patch....

thanks,
Anson
