So if possible, please drop the duplicate module.h w/o the comment
vs. a revert.  Since it appeared as a pseudo merge and was not my
original commit anyway, this shouldn't be a problem I hope...

You can call it careless if you want, I won't be offended -- FWIW I was
juggling several different streams; one to audit and remove apparently
non-required inclusions of module.h and one to unwind the implicit gpio
inclusion presence before trying to pave the way to fixing _that_ last
minute for 4.8; it was mixing and testing the two simulatenously that
led to the removal and re-addition; which when separating out the latter
caused it to become a duplicate additon as reported above.

Not an excuse; just one of those happenstance corner cases.  I'd since
fixed the dup locally and added this to my automated testing:

   make includecheck |sort > /tmp/pre-include.txt
      <...apply all WIP patches>
   make includecheck |sort > /tmp/post-include.txt
   diff -u /tmp/pre-include.txt /tmp/post-include.txt > /tmp/inc-delta.txt
   if [ -s /tmp/inc-delta.txt ]; then
           echo redundant includes changed.
           cat /tmp/inc-delta.txt
   fi

Well, you were not a fool - the fault is mine if it belongs to anyone.
You made a sensible call based on what I wrote in the commit log.

Fortunately it is 100% harmless and if you want to clean it up locally
and do so ASAP, then no problem -- do it and consider it Ack'd.

Thanks,
Paul.
