Ilitek ili7807-fhdplus drive license is wrong #28

Closed alikates closed 2 years ago

alikates commented 2 years ago

This prevents the driver from being built as a module. https://github.com/msm8953-mainline/linux/blob/e1fa6540c38cd7f0111217c45b2111cdb1f40345/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-ili7807-fhdplus.c#L270

From https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/license-rules.html on MODULE_LICENSE usage:

“GPL”: Module is licensed under GPL version 2. This does not express any distinction between GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later. The exact license information can only be determined via the license information in the corresponding source files.

“GPL v2” Same as “GPL”. It exists for historic reasons.
