[PATCH 22/24] kbuild, dmaengine: s3c24xx: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

flat view
STALE1280d

From: Nick Alcock <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-17 14:14:27
Also in: dmaengine, linux-arm-kernel, linux-samsung-soc, lkml
Subsystem: arm/samsung s3c, s5p and exynos arm architectures, dma generic offload engine subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Krzysztof Kozlowski, Peter Griffin, Vinod Koul, Linus Torvalds

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.
