Subject: [PATCH] net: airoha: Fix MODULE_LICENSE to match SPDX GPL-2.0-only identifier
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 07:52:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6a2ded59.63d39acb.391892.7632@mx.google.com> (raw)
Both airoha_eth.c and airoha_npu.c declare SPDX-License-Identifier:
GPL-2.0-only but use MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"), which the kernel module
loader interprets as GPL-2.0+ (any GPL version). This mismatch causes
license compliance tools (FOSSology, ScanCode, etc.) to misidentify
the effective license as more permissive than intended.
Replace MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") with MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2") to
align with the GPL-2.0-only SPDX identifier. Per include/linux/module.h,
"GPL v2" maps to GPL-2.0-only, matching the source files' declared
license.
Fixes: 23020f049327 ("net: airoha: Introduce ethernet support for EN7581 SoC")
