My bad. This is ISC license. MODULE_LICENSE should actually be "Dual BSD/GPL".
Same license is used in other places in the kernel like drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/pci.c.
I'll post a v2.
Thanks,
Mathieu

Just a nit: a license mismatch.

I have no idea which license this is.

But I do know that it's not GPL v2 or later (see include/linux/module.h).
