                   ^^^^^^ why is that?

Thanks for the review.

I think that if 'MODULE' is defined, '.remove = sprd_pcie_remove',
else '.remove = NULL'.
I would appreciate hearing your opinion about this.

I think that it needs to be "GPL" and not "GPL v2".

Many platform drivers use 'GPL v2', but others use 'GPL'.
I am not sure whether to use 'GPL' or 'GPL v2'.
Could you tell me why ‘GPL’ is needed here?

Thanks
