Revision v2 of 2 in this series.

  1. v1 [diff vs current]
  2. v2 current
__MODULE_STRING() has been an alias for __stringify() since "[PATCH]
MODULE_PARM support for older modules" [1] in 2002-12. That change also
moved it to the graveyard section at the end of linux/module.h

Replace the remaining uses of __MODULE_STRING() with __stringify() and
remove the macro.

Apologies for the wide distribution. Acked-bys are appreciated.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on top of next-20260930.
- Drop 'watchdog: Replace __MODULE_STRING() with __stringify()' since it
  has already been queued on watchdog-next.
- Split the hwmon changes into a separate patch.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260922-module-string-v1-0-c18766690185@suse.com (local)
