Re: [PATCH] ecard: use module_driver() to avoid repeated boilerplate code

On Sat, Sep 05, 2026 at 09:01:46PM -0700, Ethan Nelson-Moore wrote:

Many Acorn expansion card drivers have module_init and module_exit
functions that only call ecard_register_driver() and
ecard_remove_driver(). The module_driver() macro automatically
generates these functions given the register and unregister functions.
Switch to it to simplify the code.

I think it would be best to split this patch up on a per-subsystem
of per driver basis. And send patches to appropriate subsystems.

In particular, please break out the net/ changes into a patchset
with one or two patches for net-next.
