$ git grep -E "MODULE_(DESCRIPTION|LICENSE)" drivers/edac/

I'd expect to see regular pairs like this:

drivers/edac/al_mc_edac.c:348:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");
drivers/edac/al_mc_edac.c:350:MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Amazon's Annapurna Lab's Memory Controller EDAC Driver");

drivers/edac/altera_edac.c:2216:MODULE_DESCRIPTION("EDAC Driver for Altera Memories");

drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c:4238:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c:4240:MODULE_DESCRIPTION("MC support for AMD64 memory controllers");
...

but there are cases which need fixing.

How about you do them all with one patch?

Thx.
