This is another support module similar to livepatch-callbacks-mod.c.
I would use the same description, here:

MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Live patching demo for (un)patching callbacks, support module");

Thanks a lot for fixing this.

Arnd, should I push this via the livepatch tree or would you prefer to push
the entire patchset together? Both ways work for me.

My past experience was to let individual maintainers take the ones that apply
to their trees, and then Andrew can pick up the stragglers.
