This doesn't look right to me. Before commit 9d08428afb722fed ("mmc:
renesas-sdhi: make renesas_sdhi_sys_dmac main module file"), the file had:

     MODULE_AUTHOR("Magnus Damm");
     MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
