[PATCH 2/6] Input: mms114 - prefer GPL over GPL v2 for module license

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>
Date: 2026-06-16 05:09:18
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: input (keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen) drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Dmitry Torokhov, Linus Torvalds

As explained in commit bf7fbeeae6db ("module: Cure the MODULE_LICENSE
"GPL" vs. "GPL v2" bogosity"), "GPL" and "GPL v2" have identical
semantics in the module loader, but "GPL" is preferred to avoid
unnecessary confusion and maintain consistency across the kernel.

Change MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2") to MODULE_LICENSE("GPL").
