Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the
description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() will
result in a warning with make W=1. Please add a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()
to avoid this warning.

This is a canned review based upon finding a MODULE_LICENSE without a
MODULE_DESCRIPTION.
