From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> octeon-platform.c can not be built as a module for two reasons: (a) the Makefile doesn't allow it: obj-y := cpu.o setup.o octeon-platform.o octeon-irq.o csrc-octeon.o (b) the multiple *_initcall() statements, each of which are translated to a module_init() call when attempting a module build, become aliases to init_module(). Having more than one alias will cause a build error. Hence, rather than adding a linux/module.h include, remove the redundant MODULE_*() from this file.
