Resolving license check warning for drivers/staging/comedi. Added the
license definitions present in the rest of the module and made sure it's
aligned with the license (GPL) in the comments for the affected file
(ni_atmio.c). Original warning:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/staging/comedi//drivers/ni_atmio.o
see include/linux/module.h for more information.

No longer present after change.

Thanks. I already reviewed a similar patch for the same driver by Jesse Chan, but that one never had the MODULE_AUTHOR line. Also, your patch arrived earlier, so should take precedence.
