The user tool modinfo is used to get information on kernel modules, including a
description where it is available.

This patch adds a brief MODULE_DESCRIPTION to the following modules in driver/usb.

isight_firmware
mxuport
u_ether
uas

We have literally thousands of modules without a module description, so
why this arbitrary and incomplete set?

If the driver author did not care to add a description I don't think we
should go adding mostly pointless descriptions to all those drivers now.

What changed from previous versions of this patch?  That always goes
under the --- line as the documentation asks for.

Can you fix that up and do a v4?

Also, please use the output of scripts/get_maintainers.pl to determine
who to cc: on your patches.

thanks,
