Why would people do that? I find 39 occurrences, although the first one I looked at had a big #if 0 in the module_init function. Here are some examples: drivers/media/common/saa7146/saa7146_fops.c drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/soc_mediabus.c drivers/tty/serial/suncore.c There are also a bunch of comedi drivers. Around half of the examples are sound drivers, eg: sound/synth/emux/emux.c sound/synth/util_mem.c sound/isa/sb/sb16_csp.c julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
