    watchdog: pcwd_usb: remove unneeded DRIVER_LICENSE #define
    
    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, especially when it is defined just a few lines
    above from where it is used.
