This is not necessary as GPL is the same as GPL v2

commit bf7fbeeae6db644ef5995085de2bc5c6121f8c8d

    module: Cure the MODULE_LICENSE "GPL" vs. "GPL v2" bogosity
    
and documentation/process/license-rules.rst:

   The valid license strings for MODULE_LICENSE() are:

    ============================= =============================================
    "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.
