Quoting myself (again):

I was not quite correct here. MODULE_LICENSE is properly handled from a
long time through a quirk in i2c.h. i2c 2.9.0 will actually be
2.4.9-compatible. However, lm_sensors 2.0 won't and we probably don't
want it to be. 2.4.9 not only lacks MODULE_LICENSE but also snprintf,
min_t/max_t and a couple other functions/macros used in various
lm_sensors drivers. I see little point in supporting 2.4.9 in i2c and
only 2.4.10 in lm_sensors, which is why I believe we can happily go with
2.4.10 for both. Only a fool would use such old kernels today anyway.

Thanks,
