Is anyone getting any value from these MODULE_DESCRIPTION()s? This all just seems like a huge amount of noise and I'm having trouble thinking of a use case.
The missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings are very annoying. We recently missed a link error issue because the warning was drowned out in MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings. https://lore.kernel.org/all/202405182038.ncf1mL7Z-lkp@intel.com/
Yeah, adding the warning seems premature without having first added the descriptions and I'm not clear in what situation anyone would actually care given how rare it is for someone to manually interact with module loading. The number of cases where anyone would not just look at the source seems vanishingly small.
