With ARCH=hexagon, make allmodconfig && make W=1 C=1 reports:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc-xlgmac.o

With most other ARCH settings the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() is provided by
the macro invocation in dwc-xlgmac-pci.c. However, for hexagon, the
PCI bus is not enabled, and hence CONFIG_DWC_XLGMAC_PCI is not set.
As a result, dwc-xlgmac-pci.c is not compiled, and hence is not linked
into dwc-xlgmac.o.

To avoid this issue, relocate the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() and other
related macros from dwc-xlgmac-pci.c to dwc-xlgmac-common.c, since
that file already has an existing MODULE_LICENSE() and it is
unconditionally linked into dwc-xlgmac.o.

Looks okay. Missing "Fixes" tag though. Please add it and send v2.
Also, please make obvious what tree you target using "[PATCH net]"
prefix.

Thanks.

I've been applying these to net-next lately, TBH.
Judging by the number of these warnings still left in the tree we are
the only ones who care.

I'm trying to get rid of these tree-wide.
Hope I'm not just tilting at windmills...

Not at all, it's a lot of work but new ones don't get added very often
so there's a light at the end of the tunnel..
It'd be great if an incremental W=1 build didn't spit out 400+ warnings.
