Jacopo,
the MODULE_LICENSE does not match the SPDX tag. Per module.h "GPL"
means GPL-2.0 or later ;)
It should be instead:
> +MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");
... to match your

I know this can be confusing, but updating the MODULE_LICENSE tags
definitions in module.h to match SPDX tags is unlikely to happen as it
would create mayhem for everyone and every module loader relying on
this established convention.
