As I understand it, the “module_XXX_driver()” has nothing to do with whether or not the file is built as a module, rather it just provides code to attach the driver to a bus. But this is a bus-agnostic, separate module (not a driver in itself) that provides implementation to cs40l26-i2c or cs40l26-spi drivers, which do contain that macro as they should. This doesn’t appear to be an uncommon pattern.
