====================
This is a cleanup series.
The patches 1 to 8 get rid of any hardcoded strings and instead relies
on the KBUILD_MODNAME macros to get the device name. Patch 9 replaces
the ES58X_MODULE_NAME macro with KBUILD_MODNAME in
etas_es58x. Finally, also in etas_es58x, patch 10 removes the
DRV_VERSION so that the module uses the default behavior and advertise
the kernel version instead of a custom version.
* Changelog *
v1 -> v2:
* The patch for esd_usb contained some changes for ems_usb.
* v1 assumed that KBUILD_MODNAME could only be used when the file
basename and the module had the same name (e.g. vcan.c for the
vcan.ko). The fact is that KBUILD_NAME extends to the module name
and can thus be used even if the basename is different
(e.g. slcan-core.c and slcan.ko)
* Add patch #9: can: etas_es58x: replace ES58X_MODULE_NAME with
KBUILD_MODNAME
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220725153124.467061-1-mailhol.vincent@wanadoo.fr
This series are the first 9 patches of:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20220725133208.432176-1-mailhol.vincent@wanadoo.fr/T/
The initial intent of those 9 patches was to do so cleanup in order to
implement ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo but this appeared to be useless:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20220725140911.2djwxfrx3kdmjeuc@pengutronix.de/
Instead, those patch are send as a standalone series.
====================
Drop "[PATCH v2 03/10] can: slcan: use KBUILD_MODNAME and define
pr_fmt to replace hardcoded names" to avoid conflicts with Dario
Binacchi's work on the slcan driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
