This was already done by 09c479f7f1fbfaf848e5813996793966cd50be81
("auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: add missing
MODULE_DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR/LICENSE") back in early January.

In any case, it should have been "GPL" (i.e. version 2 or later), not
"GPL v2", according to the header in img-ascii-lcd.c, see:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.16-rc2/source/include/linux/module.h#L171

But thank you for the patch! :-)

Cheers,
Miguel
