Remove MODULE_VERSION(), as it isn't needed at all: the only version
making sense is the kernel version.

Thanks for the patches. Please drop the "metux IT consult" from the
addresses. The from space is supposed to be for your name.

This patches does not build. Please redo it more carefully.

You'll need to fix and resend the entire series. When you do so please
provide a cover letter, even if it only contains a couple of sentences
and separate the patches for bluetooth and batman-adv out as stand
alone patches, so the respective maintainers can pick them up.

If you _really_ want this superfluous 'metux IT consult' content in your
signature, and I don't think you should, use parentheses around it.

Enrico Weigelt (metux IT consult) <info@metux.net>

Using a comma makes copy/paste into an email client think it's two addresses.

How do we feel about deleting this not really informative message
altogether in a future patch?

It too should be removed.  If drivers are working properly, they are
quiet.

Just sent a separate patch for removing this message. I'll rebase my
patch queue when this patch went through.
