From eed7d2798ce7b78547106d0c3557a88251b413d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:13:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: error out on missing MODULE_LICENSE Adrian Bunk suggested a build time check for missing MODULE_LICENSE annotation in modules. The build time check is fatal as we really want this fixed for all modules. In-tree modules should all have been fixed up by now.
