After your patch it is still > working simply because init.h gets included that way: Firstly, I am kind of curious why an 18 month old patch is getting replied to now. That aside, this interdependence between module.h and init.h was reconsidered and you can see the resolution solution here: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1433276168-21550-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To summarize what is said there, yes - you can ignore the one line removals for now. We will revisit them after the above is merged.
