[PATCH 16/27] kbuild, crypto: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

STALE1319d

From: Nick Alcock <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-22 13:33:37
Also in: linux-crypto, lkml
Subsystem: crypto library, library code, the rest · Maintainers: Eric Biggers, Jason A. Donenfeld, Ard Biesheuvel, Andrew Morton, 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.
