I don't think that's the case.

All of the SDIO files added by the patch have the MODULE_LICENSE set to either "GPL" or "Dual BSD/GPL".

I also tried changing MODULE_LICENSE on a module that is statically linked to "Propriety" and it didn't make any difference on the build. It was linked into the kernel and not built as a module.

I've applied the patches from TI to add in support for SDHC cards to the LSP

It's not possible to build the SDIO drivers into the kernel.  When you
select them as built-in (y) in menuconfig, they will still build as modules.

Does anyone know a reason that they'd be forced to be modules?

thanks,
Jeff
