[PATCH 1/2] siox: add helper macro to simplify driver registration
From: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult
Date: Mon Jun 24 2019 - 01:40:51 EST
From: Enrico Weigelt <info@xxxxxxxxx>
Add more helper macros for trivial driver init cases, similar to the
already existing module_platform_driver() or module_i2c_driver().
This helps to reduce driver init boilerplate.
