Both the mmc_test and sdio_uart drivers' headers show that
they are licenses under GPL version 2, but the MODULE_LICENSE
statements say "GPL". Change the licensing statement to better
reflect their licensing.

This is the same in the entire drivers/mmc subtree. Also, some are v2
only, some are v2 or later. I don't know if there is a consensus on the
naming of these yet. Anyway, it's just used for protecting GPL-only
symbols, so I don't see much point in extending the tag beyond its
current form.
