[PATCH] net: usb: hso.c: remove unneeded DRIVER_LICENSE #define

[PATCH] net: usb: hso.c: remove unneeded DRIVER_LICENSE #define

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

There is no need to #define the license of the driver, just put it in
the MODULE_LICENSE() line directly as a text string.

This allows tools that check that the module license matches the source
code license to work properly, as there is no need to unwind the
unneeded dereference.

Probably all of these MODULE_<FOO>(MOD_<BAR>) uses could be
simplified as well.

Perhaps there's utility in a (cocci?) script that looks for
used-once
macro #defines in various types of macros.

Agreed, I did that for a bunch of USB drivers, need to do it for others
as well.

It could be possible.  It's a bit tricky due to ifdefs that Coccinelle
doesn't see and header files, but perhaps in special cases like this there
is not much worry.

I've just deleted MODULE_VERSION() entirely from some subsystems, as
once the driver is in the kernel source tree, the "version" makes almost
no sense at all.

But I know some companies love incrementing it (some network and scsi
drivers specifically), so those might want to keep it around for some
odd reason.
