The MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE macro does not really "use" the hp_82341_pnp_table
variable. It just generates a mangled symbol with it but it also adds the
unused attribute. However when compiled as a built-in the macro is a no-op
and so the variable is flagged as unused.

I think the unused pnp_device_id variables and their MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
declarations can safely be removed or bracketed by an #ifdef MODULE

The same problem exists in drivers/staging/gpib/tnt4882/tnt4882_gpib.c
and drivers/comedi/drivers/ni_atmio.c
