This is not necessary as GPL is the same as GPL v2

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.
