[PATCH 04/18] mfd: da9052-spi: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules

From: Nick Alcock
Date: Wed Mar 08 2023 - 14:44:11 EST


Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.
