+Subject: [PATCH] grub module explicitly keeps symbole .module_license
+
+While using oe-core toolchain to strip grub module 'all_video.mod',
+it stripped symbol table:
+--------------
+root@localhost:~# objdump -t all_video.mod
+
+all_video.mod:     file format elf64-x86-64
+
+SYMBOL TABLE:
+no symbols
+--------------
+
+It caused grub to load module all_video failed.
+--------------
+grub> insmod all_video
+error: no symbol table.
+--------------
+
+Tweak strip option to keep symbol .module_license could workaround
+the issue.
+--------------
+root@localhost:~# objdump -t all_video.mod
+
+all_video.mod:     file format elf64-x86-64
+
+SYMBOL TABLE:
+0000000000000000 l    d  .text  0000000000000000 .text
