For USB serial:

Acked-by: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

I noticed several MODULE_LICENSE macros which did not match the headers
(e.g. "GPL" being used for version 2 only modules) for which I'll send a
follow-up patch.

Someone should probably write a script for that once the SPDX
identifiers are in.
