[PATCH v2 3/3] module: Remove obsolete __MODULE_STRING()
From: Petr Pavlu
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 04:38:12 EST
__MODULE_STRING() has been an alias for __stringify() since "[PATCH]
MODULE_PARM support for older modules" [1] in 2002-12. That change also
moved it to the graveyard section at the end of linux/module.h
Remove __MODULE_STRING() now that all remaining uses have been replaced
directly with __stringify().
