[PATCH 0/2] Staging: speakup: Introduce helper macro module_spk_synth

[Vaishali Thakkar]

This patch-set adds new macro module_spk_synth for
simple modules that contain a single spk_synth without 
any additional setup code then ends up being a block of 
duplicated boilerplate. Macro module_spk_synth replaces
module_init()/module_exit() registrations with template 
functions. So, patch-set also handles all such cases
where module_spk_synth can be used.

[PATCH v3 1/2] Staging: speakup: Add helper macro for spk_synth boilerplate

[Vaishali Thakkar]

For simple modules that contain a single spk_synth without
any additional setup code then ends up being a block of
duplicated boilerplate. This patch adds a new macro,
module_spk_synth(), which replaces the
module_init()/module_exit() registrations with template
functions.

Please put a blank line after your new macro.

Can you fix that up and resend?

[PATCH 2/2] Staging: speakup: Use module_spk_synth

[Vaishali Thakkar]

Macro module_spk_synth can be used for speakup drivers
whose init and exit paths does only module registrations.
So, here remove some boilerplate code by using
module_spk_synth.
