This bus driver is not a module.

It can not be built as a module ever?


That's right:

$ cat arch/m68k/Kconfig.bus
...
config NUBUS
        bool
        depends on MAC
        default y

I don't plan to convert this bus driver to a module, but this patch series 
would make that conversion more difficult, should it happen in future.

Therefore I plan to revise this submission to avoid or remove the existing 
global nubus_boards list, because the use of this list means that a 
hypothetical device_put() call is not allowable.

You may wish to disregard this submission.

Thanks.
