+/// This macro is the counterpart of the C macro `MODULE_FIRMWARE()`, but instead of taking a
+/// simple string literals, which is already covered by the `firmware` field of
+/// [`crate::prelude::module!`], it allows the caller to pass a builder type, based on the
+/// [`ModInfoBuilder`], which can create the firmware modinfo strings in a more flexible way.
+///
+/// Drivers should extend the [`ModInfoBuilder`] with their own driver specific builder type.
+///
+/// The `builder` argument must be a type which implements the following function.
+///

+///
+/// `create` should pass the `module_name` to the [`ModInfoBuilder`] and, with the help of
+/// it construct the corresponding firmware modinfo.
+///
+/// Typically, such contracts would be enforced by a trait, however traits do not (yet) support
+/// const functions.
