[PATCH V4 0/2] author field in module! macro should be a array
From: Guilherme Giacomo Simoes
Date: Fri Feb 21 2025 - 13:22:22 EST
In the module! macro, the author field is currently of type String.
Since modules can have multiple authors, this limitation prevents
specifying more than one.
- Change the author field to Option<Vec<String>> to allow creating
modules with multiple authors.
- rename the field from author to authors to make it explicit that it
can refer to multiple authors.
- In modules that use the author field, update its value to an array of
strings, and also rename it from author to authors.
- Change the checkpatch.pl to find poorly formatted arrays in the macro
module!

V4 changes
- Improved checkpatch warning messages
- Improved shiftwidth
- Fixed the regex in checkpatch
