Subject: [PATCH] media: usbvision: remove unneeded DRIVER_LICENSE #define
Message-ID: <20171117141826.GC17880@kroah.com>

Precedence: bulk

There is no need to #define the license of the driver, just put it in
the MODULE_LICENSE() line directly as a text string.

This allows tools that check that the module license matches the source
code license to work properly, as there is no need to unwind the
unneeded dereference.
