[PATCH 16/24] kbuild, irqchip/mvebu-pic: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

STALE1281d

From: Nick Alcock <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-17 15:10:33
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: arm/marvell kirkwood and armada 370, 375, 38x, 39x, xp, 3700, 7k/8k, cn9130 soc support, irqchip drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Gregory Clement, Sebastian Hesselbarth, Thomas Gleixner, 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.
