Thanks for catching this. I can reproduce this by my config:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in /home/yangyicong/mainline_linux/linux/drivers/perf/hisilicon/hisi_uncore_pmu.o
This warning is introduced by 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the description is missing")
from v6.5 so we didn't catch this. Once comment below.

This module's not a driver but provides the framework for other HiSilicon uncore PMUs. Should be
more proper to make this "HiSilicon SoC uncore PMU driver framework".
Thanks.
