MIT license is unusual. There's one other file in the kernel which uses it
and that's down in MTD where nobody dares look.
I don't know whether MIT is GPL-compatible-for-kernel-purposes or not. Help.
would be really nice if the author would at least dual license it under
the GPL as well (and thus also granting the patent rights if any)
It would be really nice, but that doesn't make the rights to any patents
granted unless 'GPLv2 or any later version' is explicitly specified. The
default GPL license is v2 and only v2. There was a bug thread about this
on LKML earlier.
