Hi Paul,

thank you for your review.

This include is still needed for MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.

According to:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/module.h#L100
"GPL"                          [GNU Public License v2 or later]

which reflects statement provided in the header :)

I assume all this changes are in the grey zone between: "make it pretty"
and "it won't make any difference" :D

Are you ok if we leave it as is?
