Yes we can, to be clear you are talking about dropping:

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, cht_wc_i2c_id);
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, cht_wc_acpi_ids);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>");

And replacing:

module_i2c_driver(cht_wc_driver);

with:

builtin_i2c_driver(cht_wc_driver);

Right ?

Anything I'm missing ?

If not I will post a new version with these removed / replaced.

Regards,

Hans
