Changes in v2: - Squash .owner removalr patches into one (Johan) - Drop owner from f81534 driver - kerneldoc "module/owner" -> module (Johan) - Fix amba->usb copypasta - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240328-module-owner-usb-serial-v1-0-bc46c9ffbf56@xxxxxxxxxx Description =========== Modules registering driver with usb_serial_register_drivers() might forget to set .owner field. Solve the problem by moving this task away from the drivers to the core USB code, just like we did for platform_driver in commit 9447057eaff8 ("platform_device: use a macro instead of platform_driver_register").
