A license mismatch was all I spotted.

(But I also spotted this line. And then I checked 2/2, which has:
This patch is dependent on PATCH V1 1/2

Which makes it all rather confusing.

Anyhow, neither patch should need to carry such a line. The 1/2 and 2/2
in the Subject: line should suffice.)

This states the license is GPL v2 or later.

And (according to include/linux/module.h) this states the license is
(just) GPL v2.
