Hi Andy,

I see TEST_FIRMWARE, TEST_SYSCTL, TEST_UDELAY, TEST_STATIC_KEYS arround
TEST_CRC all have 'default n', then I think to follow the style it might
be better to have 'default n' here too.

Do you mean in alphabet order of header file names ? I will do it in v2
series.

Sure I will keep module.h in v2 series.

Good idea. I will add this in v2 series.

Fixed.

Sure, I will add this :-)

Oh, IMHO this is a test module, we don't need to occupy boot time and it
should be good to invoke it after other modules loaded. As I see many
other test modules do this.

Nice catch, I will change it to MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2").

Thanks for all your review !
