So core.o will be built-in (or not built at all, of course).

So I guess this header is not needed.

And this will never be called.

And those four macros will basically be preprocessed away. But if you
actually want this code to be built modular too, and change EEPROM to
tristate, you probably want to use
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");

here.

Thanks, Thats a good catch,
There is no reason why this driver can't be a module, I will change the Kconfig and License in next version.
