Re: [PATCH 5/7] regmap: sdw: use no_pm routines for SoundWire 1.2 MBQ

  MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Regmap SoundWire MBQ Module");
-MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");
+MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

Why do you want to change this ?

We only use MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") for new contributions since 'GPL v2' does not bring any information on the license, is equivalent to 'GPL' and only exists for 'historical reasons', see

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/license-rules.html


“GPL” Module is licensed under GPL version 2. This does not express any distinction between GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later. The exact license information can only be determined via the license information in the corresponding source files.

“GPL v2”	Same as “GPL”. It exists for historic reasons.

We should have used 'GPL' in the initial regmap MBQ patch but didn't for some reason, this change just realigns with what we intended.

That said, this is unrelated to this no_pm patch so could be in a separate one if you preferred it that way.
