.SH "NAME"
builtin_driver \- Helper macro for drivers that don\*(Aqt do anything special in init and have no exit\&. This eliminates some boilerplate\&. Each driver may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces device_initcall (or in some cases, the legacy __initcall)\&. This is meant to be a direct parallel of \fBmodule_driver\fR above but without the __exit stuff that is not used for builtin cases\&.
