[oe] [meta-oe][PATCH] cpupower: update license file checksum

[Martin Jansa]

NAK

This completely defeats the purpose of LIC_FILES_CHKSUM.

If the COPYING file vary across releases than LIC_FILES_CHKSUM should be
updated when needed while verifying that the LICENSE value is still correct.

If you use COMMON_LICENSE_DIR and completely ignore the license in the
source, then it won't ever warn the user that the license was changed while
upgrading to newer release.
