Back in 2003, the (fullhist) commit below perhaps inappropriately
removed license text that allowed arbitrary changes to source
code while adding 'MODULE_LICENSE("GPL and additional rights");'

Today, the license for this file is:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only

So there is a mismatch between the SPDX identifier and the
MODULE_LICENSE in the file.

So the SPDX identifier now seems inappropriate.
Perhaps that can be rectified somehow...
 
commit 229f2fcdfa1377fb20174e6990460d8c60d33ada
Author: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk>
Date:   Tue Dec 3 01:22:23 2002 -0100

    rework as per Linus' suggestion. Chipset drivers are now seperate modules
    that use the pci driver interfaces, and register with the agpgart backend.
