    drivers/char: make hpet.c explicitly non-modular · a8cedfec
    Paul Gortmaker authored
    The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
    
    char/Kconfig:config HPET
    char/Kconfig:   bool "HPET - High Precision Event Timer" if (X86 || IA64)
    
    ...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
    
    Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
    when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
    
    Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
    case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.
    
    We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
    
    Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.
    
    We leave some tags like MODULE_AUTHOR for documentation purposes.
