This small series adds modularization support to the gpio-tegra driver, i.e. driver now could be built as a loadable kernel module. Dmitry Osipenko (3): gpio: tegra: Use debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() gpio: tegra: Clean up whitespaces in tegra_gpio_driver gpio: tegra: Support building driver as a loadable moduleAs these three patches clearly make the kernel look better after than before: Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <redacted> However when we are doing this I would strongly encourage you to also make a patch implementing remove() so you can insmod rmmod the module at runtime.
The remove() is optional for drivers, it doesn't prevent the rmmod.
