The patch also modifies the calling sites.

An objdump on such a kernel module gives: Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA 1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE ... Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason why such sections need to be listed under /sys/module//sections/ either. The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section names which are empty.
