What is the convention for Qualcomm authored drivers? In some drivers I find that Qualcomm doesn't add MODULE_AUTHOR. Can Qualcomm community clarify it here. I prefer consistency here for the Qualcomm submissions.
WLAN team was told to not have MODULE_AUTHOR(), so ath10k was the last WLAN driver that had a MODULE_AUTHOR() -- ath11k and ath12k do not have one.
And in reality it is very rare for a given module, over time, to only have a single author. The git history contains the real authorship. So just for that reason I'd drop it.
