linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, the next-20110929 build (various sh configs)
failed like this:

drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c:601: error: 'THIS_MODULE' undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c:1970: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before string constant

Presumbly revealed by the module.h split up.  This file needs to include module.h.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the report.
I will submit a patch for the issue soon.
Since I used the net-next.git, the build failure didn't happen.
This is because that the linux/device.h of the net-next.git has "#include <linux/module.h>".
But, I was wrong to remove "#include <linux/module.h>" in the sh_eth.{c,h}.

Thanks,
Yoshihiro Shimoda
