Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 13/15] rust: remove module argument from
InPlaceModule::init()
InPlaceModule::init() has ThisModule argument. However modules always
have THIS_MODULE made by module! macro. So it is unnecessary to pass
same information through this function. End goal is to make idea of
THIS_MODULE simpler. Driver getting this THIS_MODULE from multiple
places is confusing. So let's just stick with THIS_MODULE as that also
works in const context very easily.
Reported-by: Yuheng Su <gipsyh.icu@...il.com>
Closes: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/720
