Subject: [MTD NAND] Modify check for modules registering NAND devices without ->owner
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~1105^2~107
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52239da1b06ff445bf71d35e04d8ce74e4c6fe7b;p=linux-2.6

[MTD NAND] Modify check for modules registering NAND devices without ->owner

Make it work even with compilers which lack the wit to notice that
THIS_MODULE is always non-NULL. Use #ifdef MODULE instead. It's only
a temporary debugging check anyway.
