Ideally, we'd simply fix this to build as a module, but it's not clear how to do that now that the ecam accessors have been split out into their own file. A liberal sprinkling of EXPORT_SYMBOL might work, but it's a bit grotty. David, Jayachandran -- do you have any desire to build your PCI host controller drivers as modules?

I can only speak to the Cavium case. The system is not usable without PCI, so there is no advantage to making the PCI host drivers modular. At this point I don't see any reason to expend effort making it work as a module.

We don't have a scenario in which having it as a module would be useful.

Not yet -- that one escaped my radar because it didn't have module_init or MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE in it; it just has MODULE_AUTHOR etc. I'll add that fix to my queue and update my audit to hide the MODULE_AUTHOR tags when compiling for !MODULE.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: drivers/pci/host/Kconfig:config PCI_HOST_GENERIC drivers/pci/host/Kconfig: bool "Generic PCI host controller" ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone. Lets remove the few trace uses of modular code and macros, so that when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code. We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.
