I should have tested this with clang rather than copy/pasting the 
utilization from somewhere else! It looks like a number of other kernel 
users are putting it before the '=', but its sorta annoying because it 
seems like the kind of warning that should be suppressed globally for 
this case (module device description in module that can be built in).
