Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the
description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() will
result in a warning with make W=1. The following warnings are being
observed in samples/vfio-mdev:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.o
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in samples/vfio-mdev/mdpy.o
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in samples/vfio-mdev/mdpy-fb.o
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in samples/vfio-mdev/mbochs.o
Add the missing invocations of the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro to these
modules. And in the case of mtty.c, remove the now redundant instance
of the MODULE_INFO() macro.

Of the almost 300 patches I've submitted tree-wide to fix these
issues, this is one of the 13 remaining. Hopefully this can make it
via your tree into the 6.11 merge window. If not, Greg KH has
indicated he'll take this as an -rc instead of waiting for 6.12.

Changes in v2:
- Updated the commit text to more fully describe the problem and solution.
- Removed the MODULE_INFO() from mtty.c
- Note I did not carry forward Kirti's Reviewed-by: due to this removal,
please re-review
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240523-md-vfio-mdev-v1-1-4676cd532b10@xxxxxxxxxxx
