No, MODULE_LICENSE() is sorely for symbol resolution during module
loading, so GPL vs GPLv2 or later, etc is all the same. SPDX denotes
the actual license for the source code that governs derivative works,
etc. and I did not change it - it is left exactly as you sent it:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only

Thanks.
