I understand, but if we choose have a multiples author, firmware and alias
fields, we need modify some codes in `module.rs`, and I think that in the end
is the same work, because if we choose have a multiples fields we need change
modify the module.rs and if we choose have a array we need modify the
checkpatch.pl... 

It seems for me is the same work.

Unless you convince me otherswise, I think that is the best thing is to
maintain this as a array, and avoid boring scrolling screen.

On the other hand, I understand that the module that have a author, alias or
firmware a lot is the minority, and the marjority modules we don't need
scrolling screen a lot.

Thanks and regards,
