I think this code should not be executed if driver is compiled as a module because __init sections will stay anyway. Also, why don't you also remove "bind" attribute if driver is built-in. That should save a bit of dynamic memory. -- Dmitry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
