As I understand it, if both MTK_INFRACFG and MTK_SCPSYS (see 3/5) are m
we will get mtk-infracfg.ko and mtk-scpsys.ko (see 3/5). And loading
mtk-scpsys.ko will trigger loading mtk-infracfg.ko, right?

But since this file has no MODULE_LICENSE() that should generate a
warning and taint the kernel. (I haven't tested this. Please correct me
if I'm overlooking something here.)

Thanks,


Paul Bolle
