[PATCH 0/4] gpio: delete MODULE_ tags in non-modular drivers

[PATCH 0/4] gpio: delete MODULE_ tags in non-modular drivers

[Paul Gortmaker]

A nice simple series, with zero runtime changes.  We delete tags like
MODULE_LICENSE, MODULE_AUTHOR (while ensuring the documentation at the
top of file reflects author and license) etc from bool drivers where
the tags are no-ops.

Then we are free to delete the module.h include, which we now know adds
about 750kB of output to an otherwise headerless empty file processed
by cpp.  In addition, it will be clear that the driver is non-modular
now, when inspecting the source code.

[PATCH 1/4] gpio: msic: drop unused MODULE_ tags from non-modular code

[Paul Gortmaker]

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/gpio/Kconfig:config GPIO_MSIC
drivers/gpio/Kconfig:   bool "Intel MSIC mixed signal gpio support"

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

Lets remove the couple traces of modular infrastructure use, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

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

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
