[PATCH] drivers/bus: make uniphier-system-bus.c explicitly non-modular

[PATCH] drivers/bus: make uniphier-system-bus.c explicitly non-modular

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/bus/Kconfig:config UNIPHIER_SYSTEM_BUS
drivers/bus/Kconfig:    bool "UniPhier System Bus driver"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

This driver can be modular.

I wrote "tristate" in my original patch.

See this one:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7805091/



But when I look at linux-next, it is "bool".



Now, I realized what happened.

Olof Johansson only said "Thanks, applied to next/drivers."
But, he silently modified my patch,
changing "tristate" into "bool".


Olof,

Why did you do that?


I want this driver tristate.

My bad - Olof had applied it as it is.

It was changed from "tristate" to "bool" by

commit 326ea45aa827da6686c78b5907f9839f91ef5782
Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date:   Mon Dec 28 11:05:18 2015 +0100

I assume commit 326ea45aa827 ("bus: uniphier: allow only built-in driver")
is a temporary fix.

I'd like to revive the tristate for this driver
by hook or by crook.


I've sent the following to fix the build error.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/

I want to see how it goes.


So, please hold back yours for now.

Sure, I'll shelf it and assume it will get back to tristate.

Note however that the patch I was looking at was not 326ea. It was

commit 6c741c74092c61465af206672ba567940a23d709
Author: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@chromium.org>
Date:   Tue Dec 22 21:46:37 2015 +0800

    pinctrl: mediatek: convert to arch_initcall

..and if you make it tristate again, you defeat the above change,
since if you look at module.h, you will see for the =m config:

 #define arch_initcall(fn)               module_init(fn)

...meaning that the change in 6c741c does nothing if =m is set.
I don't know if that is an issue or not, perhaps Daniel can comment.

Paul.

Sure, I'll shelf it and assume it will get back to tristate.

Note however that the patch I was looking at was not 326ea. It was

commit 6c741c74092c61465af206672ba567940a23d709
Author: Daniel Kurtz <djkurtz@chromium.org>

    pinctrl: mediatek: convert to arch_initcall

..and if you make it tristate again, you defeat the above change,
since if you look at module.h, you will see for the =m config:

 #define arch_initcall(fn)               module_init(fn)

...meaning that the change in 6c741c does nothing if =m is set.
I don't know if that is an issue or not, perhaps Daniel can comment.

Paul.
