Using latest verilog-mode.el (20170923) to at least as far back as 20161124,

Using .* in module instantiation is causing emacs batch mode to think that the file always needs to be re-written.

The emacs batch command line used:

 /usr/bin/emacs --no-site-file --batch --load /home/betscheid/bin/verilog-mode/verilog-mode.20170923.el test.sv -eval "(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)" -f verilog-auto -f save-buffer

Simple example (test.sv, also attached):

module test (
    test2 test2 (.*);
endmodule

module test2 (
    input               clk,
    input               rst);
endmodule

Thanks, -Brian E
