I think putting an ugly MODULE ifdef into every driver that does something
like this is not going to cut it.

Rather, the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() definition when !MODULE should do something
reasonable, like make a void reference to the symbole.

I'm not applying this, the fix belongs in a generic place.

Thanks.
