In fact the ; after MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is necessary. There is only a single instance in the kernel without a semicolon[1]. That's in drivers/pci/controller/pcie-microchip-host.c and this only works because this driver cannot be compiled as a module and so MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE evaluates to nothing. Will send a patch for that one.

When I built this, it appeared to succeed. I used the command "make M=/drivers/staging/fbtft modules". Is this incorrect? For reference this is my first patch so it's highly likely I did this incorrectly.
I don't know for sure, but I'd have said that the M= stuff is for out-of-tree modules only.
I'd recommend:
make allmodconfig make drivers/staging/fbtft/
Best regards Uwe
