Yes, I think so. The original header in mx2fb.h mentions GPLv2 or later.
You should add similar header to mx2fb.c also, adding a header like
/*
 * Copyright 2004-2009 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
 *
 * This file is released under the terms of GPL v2 and any later version.
 * See the file COPYING in the root directory of the source tree for details.
 */

should be enough.

Thanks,
Anatolij
