[PATCH V6 0/2] author field in module! macro should be a array

From: Guilherme Giacomo Simoes
Date: Sun Feb 23 2025 - 12:42:48 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!
