From: Jesse Chan jc@linux.com
commit 09c479f7f1fbfaf848e5813996793966cd50be81 upstream.
This change resolves a new compile-time warning when built as a loadable module:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.o see include/linux/module.h for more information
This adds the license as "GPL", which matches the header of the file.
MODULE_DESCRIPTION and MODULE_AUTHOR are also added.
