It needs to be:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
// Copyright (c) 2017-2018 MediaTek Inc.

/*
 * whatever else you want
 */

The first two lines are in C99 style comment and need to have SPDX tag and
Copyright info

It is used only once, why not use KBUILD_MODNAME directly?

Okay please check. With text it helps to wrap before that

Either ways you have issued the descriptor, so you succeed right?

what if you get bad next value

resulting in bad ref here
