✨ NAME ✨

module_gameport_driver — the helper macro that handles registering a gameport driver for you, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

module_gameport_driver (__gameport_driver );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• __gameport_driver — the gameport_driver struct, that's literally it 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so picture this: you're writing a gameport driver and you have zero special stuff to do in module init/exit. That's the whole vibe this macro was made for, and it ate. 🍓

It's a helper macro for gameport drivers which do not do anything special in module init/exit. The way it eliminates a lot of boilerplate?? obsessed. ✨

⚠️ important bestie: each module may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces module_init and module_exit. So like, don't double up, ok? 🙈
