[PATCH v2 2/6] modules: Add macros to specify modinfo prefix
Posted by Alexey Gladkov 9 months, 1 week ago
The __MODULE_INFO macros always use __MODULE_INFO_PREFIX. The only way
to use a different prefix is to override __MODULE_INFO_PREFIX, which is
not very useful.

The new macro will be used in file2alias.c to generate modalias for
builtin modules.
