Actually, having a second look at this it does not look right.

drivers/video/ep93xx-fb.c includes linux/platform.h (as its first 
include), which includes linux/driver.h, which includes linux/module.h.

Just tested on Linus' latest tree and both this driver and the ep93xx 
backlight driver build fine. What kernel version are you using?
