Subject: Bug#970871: "modinfo -F" always shows name for built-ins
Package: kmod
Version: 27+20200310-2
Severity: normal
Now that the kernel provides module information for potentially
modular code that's actually built-in, it's possible to query these
built-ins with "modinfo -F". However, this doesn't work quite right:
$ modinfo -Flicense e1000e
GPL v2
$ modinfo -Flicense bitrev
name: bitrev
GPL
