Since commit 1fffe7a34c ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the
description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() will
result in a warning with make W=1. The following warnings are being
observed in drivers/char when CONFIG_ARCH_NETWINDER is enabled:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/char/ds1620.o
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/char/nwbutton.o
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/char/nwflash.o
Add the missing invocations of the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro.

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 reStructuredText 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.
