KBUILD_MODNAME is automatically expanded from the file name. so any code using KBUILD_MODNAME cannot be renamed with 0 side effects. the question is whether the changed string makes a difference to the driver. so if the places where KBUILD_MODNAME is used doesn't actually care about the contents of the string (and is purely for information purposes only), then there shouldnt be a problem. but if there is implicit lookups/matching based on the string, then this is a problem. -mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
