With just this commit applied, I get the following build warnings:

drivers/misc/pvpanic/pvpanic-mmio.c:26:22: warning: ‘base’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
   26 | static void __iomem *base;
      |                      ^~~~


ERROR: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/misc/pvpanic/pvpanic.o


Remember, each patch needs to work properly and not cause any build
failures or warnings to be added to the tree.

I suggest getting someone else at Oracle to review and test your
patchset before submitting it again so as I don't have to be the ones
finding these types of errors :)

thanks,
