[PATCH 17/24] kbuild, pinctrl: nuvoton: npcm7xx: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

From: Nick Alcock <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-17 15:10:43
Also in: linux-gpio, lkml, openbmc
Subsystem: arm/nuvoton npcm architecture, pin control subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Jeffery, Avi Fishman, Tomer Maimon, Tali Perry, Linus Walleij, Linus Torvalds

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.
