The Makefile/Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is: obj-$(CONFIG_PPC64) += setup_64.o sys_ppc32.o \ signal_64.o ptrace32.o \ paca.o nvram_64.o firmware.o
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:config PPC64 arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype: bool "64-bit kernel" ...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. We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag since that information is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.
