That setup can only happen with COMPILE_TEST since -pci is otherwise only compiled for powerpc and -platform for arm64. -core.c is only built once with THIS_MODULE expanding to __this_module. That will fail when linking the built-in driver where THIS_MODULE should've been NULL instead. The most simple fix (that also has no chance of breaking anything) is probably to just move smbus->adapter.owner = THIS_MODULE; from core to both apple.c and pci.c. I'll prepare a patch later this week. Sven
