Hi Yann,
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
Since commit 8df8c56a5abc, 6lowpan_iphc is a module of its own. Unfortunately, it lacks some infrastructure to behave like a good kernel citizen: kernel: 6lowpan_iphc: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. kernel: Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint This patch adds the basic MODULE_LICENSE(); with GPL license: the code was copied from net/ieee802154/6lowpan.c which is GPL and the module exports symbol with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL();.
