Please do not remove this line as long as the file has no SPDX-License
tag.
I'll augment this patch with an SPDX addition, if you think that's OK,
which it sounds like you do. (MODULE_LICENSE has side effects these days
which a SPDX header does not, and those side effects are wrong for
things that cannot be modules.)
Yeah, simple-pm-bus should not be a module.
