Please use some macro related to the protocol rather than a Linux
compiletime macro.

Same here.

Here the BSD license follows. I think its required/desired to also
include a GPL blurb like it is done in many other files:
...
* Alternatively, this software may be distributed under the terms of
* the GNU General Public License ("GPL") version 2 as published by the
* Free Software Foundation.
....

Otherwise the MODULE_LICENSE string might be incorrect.

I guess this mens WS 2016+, and loading in earlier host versions will
trigger this path? I think a silent ENODEV is enough.
