This is not necessary as GPL is the same as GPL v2
commit bf7fbeeae6db644ef5995085de2bc5c6121f8c8d Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Date: Fri Feb 8 17:02:56 2019 +0100
module: Cure the MODULE_LICENSE "GPL" vs. "GPL v2" bogosity
and documentation/process/license-rules.rst:
The valid license strings for MODULE_LICENSE() are:
============================= ============================================= "GPL" Module is licensed under GPL version 2. This does not express any distinction between GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later. The exact license information can only be determined via the license information in the corresponding source files.
"GPL v2" Same as "GPL". It exists for historic reasons.
