Something like this? #ifdef MODULE static void __unused splat(void) { # undef MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX # define MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX "8250." module_param_cb(nr_uarts, ¶m_ops_uint, &nr_uarts, 0644); ... } #endif Not nice, but should work. The other way is to have those in a separate file linked to 8250 (to avoid re-definition errors). thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
