[PATCH 2/3] media: radio: si470x: Fix DRIVER_AUTHOR macro definition

From: Kees Cook

Date: Tue Oct 07 2025 - 23:59:38 EST


The DRIVER_AUTHOR macro incorrectly included a semicolon in its
string literal definition. Right now, this wasn't causing any real
problem, but coming changes to the MODULE_INFO() macro make this more
sensitive. Specifically, when used with MODULE_AUTHOR(), this created
syntax errors during macro expansion:

MODULE_AUTHOR(DRIVER_AUTHOR);

expands to:

MODULE_INFO(author, "Joonyoung Shim <jy0922.shim@xxxxxxxxxxx>";)
^
syntax error

Remove the trailing semicolon from the DRIVER_AUTHOR definition.
Semicolons should only appear at the point of use, not in the macro
definition.
