From ae6385af3740f2abb4b0ae8403af3de1a3c82725 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Alcock Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 18:02:01 +0000 Subject: braille_console: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message. So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as modules.
