Re: [PATCH V4 0/9] Support i.MX8 SoCs pinctrl drivers built as module

[Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@nxp.com>]

Hi Anson,

Patch series mostly looks good to me. I have a comment about adding

the MODULE_LICENSE. This is a pretty important change.


Can you please add this change in a separate patch with a proper explanation

of why it is needed.


Most likely it is because it was forgotten in the previous patches.


thanks,

daniel.
