Thanks!
The module removal was introduced together with the driver in this commit:
commit 97238b35d5bbb5d5312d83c30a429824b777619f
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Jul 5 14:51:33 2013 +0200
usb: musb: dsps: use proper child nodes
AFAICS, by using git tag --contains, the above was merged since v3.12.
Should I send a patch and Cc stable properly?
