[PATCH 07/27] iommu/sun50i: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

STALE1292d LANDED

From: Nick Alcock <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-24 15:10:46
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-iommu, linux-sunxi, lkml
Subsystem: iommu subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Joerg Roedel, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

Landed in mainline as 08632365b274 on 2023-03-22.

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.
