Hello Paul,

Thanks for feedback :).

Just a single nit: a license mismatch.

This states the license is GPL v2 or later.

And, according to include/linux/module.h, this states the license is
(only) GPL v2. So I think either the license comment or the ident used
in the MODULE_LICENSE() macro should be changed.
