Merge tag 'module-builtin_driver-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull module_platform_driver replacement from Paul Gortmaker: "Replace module_platform_driver with builtin_platform driver in non modules. We see an increasing number of non-modular drivers using modular_driver() type register functions. There are several downsides to letting this continue unchecked: - The code can appear modular to a reader of the code, and they won't know if the code really is modular without checking the Makefile and Kconfig to see if compilation is governed by a bool or tristate. - Coders of drivers may be tempted to code up an __exit function that is never used, just in order to satisfy the required three args of the modular registration function. - Non-modular code ends up including the <module.h> which increases CPP overhead that they don't need. - It hinders us from performing better separation of the module init code and the generic init code. So here we introduce similar macros for builtin drivers. Then we convert builtin drivers (controlled by a bool Kconfig) by making the following type of mapping: module_platform_driver() ---> builtin_platform_driver() module_platform_driver_probe() ---> builtin_platform_driver_probe(). The set of drivers that are converted here are just the ones that showed up as relying on an implicit include of <module.h> during a pending header cleanup. So we convert them here vs adding an include of <module.h> to non-modular code to avoid compile fails. Additonal conversions can be done asynchronously at any time. Once again, an unused module_exit function that is removed here appears in the diffstat as an outlier wrt all the other changes" * tag 'module-builtin_driver-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: drivers/clk: convert sunxi/clk-mod0.c to use builtin_platform_driver drivers/power: Convert non-modular syscon-reboot to use builtin_platform_driver drivers/soc: Convert non-modular soc-realview to use builtin_platform_driver drivers/soc: Convert non-modular tegra/pmc to use builtin_platform_driver drivers/cpufreq: Convert non-modular s5pv210-cpufreq.c to use builtin_platform_driver drivers/cpuidle: Convert non-modular drivers to use builtin_platform_driver drivers/platform: Convert non-modular pdev_bus to use builtin_platform_driver platform_device: better support builtin boilerplate avoidance
