You are using network comment style. Other parts of the kernel have 
different style. See 
https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-style.html#commenting

I would have put the comment before the if, it would have been a single 
line comment and you would have avoided the { }

It is odd to include module internal.h outside of module.

If you really need a function from module, I think you should move its 
prototype to include/linux/module.h
