Just a nit about a license mismatch.

This states the license of this file is GPL v2 or later.

And, according to include/linux/module.h, this states the license of
this driver is GPL v2. So either the comment at the top of this file or
the license ident used in this macro needs to change.

(Now, as far as I can tell, this driver is built-in only. So I think
this macro - and all other module specific code in this file - is
actually unneeded. But I already know Bjorn's position here, so I won't
bother you about that.)

Thanks,
