Subject: mb862xxfb: fix acceleration module license
From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>

mb862xxfb_accel built as a separate module, but it does not have a
MODULE_LICENSE, so it taints the kernel.  Add a MODULE_LICENSE to it (same
as mb862xxfb license).

mb862xxfb_accel: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.

Or should mb862xxfb_accel be built into the mb862xxfb binary file instead?
