Hi,

drivers/char/drm/mga_ucode.h is entirely composed of binary code:

There's no copyright header in this file.   The comments say it's been
generated from "AF05BDA.sys (windows driver)", but they don't specify the
license of that file.  Sounds likely that this file can't be legally
distributed.

Otherwise, it'd still be a DFSG violation.
