[PATCH] e1000e: rename init/exit module functions to avoid confusion with e1000

From: Filip Balluch <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-15 12:26:51
Also in: intel-wired-lan, lkml
Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The e1000e driver uses e1000_init_module and e1000_exit_module as its
module init/exit function names, which are identical to those used by the
older e1000 driver. Rename them to e1000e_init_module and
e1000e_exit_module to clearly distinguish e1000e from the legacy e1000
driver.
