Hi Paul,

thank you for your review.

This include is still needed for MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.

According to:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/module.h#L100
"GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later]

which reflects statement provided in the header :)

and "it won't make any difference" :D

Are you ok if we leave it as is?
