Is that the right way to do it? At least in include/linux/module.h it says this:

/* Author, ideally of form NAME[, NAME]*[ and NAME] */
#define MODULE_AUTHOR(_author) MODULE_INFO(author, _author)

Interesting, but I suspect that should just be changed.

If you use multiple MODULE_AUTHOR, they will be shown as such:

$ /sbin/modinfo ar9170usb | grep author
author:         Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@xxxxxx>
author:         Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


If you use just one, it would be one long author: line with all of them.
I think the multiple line case is much nicer.

Yes, I totally agree with you.  I'll use multiple MODULE_AUTHOR()s.  ;)
