Hi all,
the patch I actually used was this:
diff --git a/include/linux/module.h b/include/linux/module.h
index 8fa38d3e7538..f5bc4c046461 100644
--- a/include/linux/module.h

So the final question is: do we want 4.9.x to be buildable with gcc 9.x? If
yes then we can probably get this patches into shape.
