In future, when you're ripping into module.h, please CC the module
maintainer.  It's not just a courtesy, it helps everyone avoid redundant
work.

You may insert your own sarcastic comment about "rocket science" here.

As to the patch: it's marginal improvement, but it's neater and I'm
happy you're doing it.

Thanks,
Rusty.
