With ARCH=hexagon, make allmodconfig && make W=1 C=1 reports:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc-xlgmac.o
With most other ARCH settings the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() is provided by
the macro invocation in dwc-xlgmac-pci.c. However, for hexagon, the
PCI bus is not enabled, and hence CONFIG_DWC_XLGMAC_PCI is not set.
As a result, dwc-xlgmac-pci.c is not compiled, and hence is not linked
into dwc-xlgmac.o.
To avoid this issue, relocate the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() and other
related macros from dwc-xlgmac-pci.c to dwc-xlgmac-common.c, since
that file already has an existing MODULE_LICENSE() and it is
unconditionally linked into dwc-xlgmac.o.
