The M5 library is declared to be under the MIT license, but if you look at the modules, you will see that there are several licenses mixed in. (For example, GPL and CC)

Since the library is not distributed as binary code, we believe that even if it is declared as MIT, it actually needs to be treated as GPL.

If this is not what is intended, it would be better to organize and unify the licenses.

M5.Power class, but at first I put this header because other files were registered as LGPL, and I mistakenly thought the whole license was LGPL.

However, since the project is under the MIT license, I would like to make this program MIT, if other proposers who have modified this file will give me permission.
(If such a license change is allowed.)

Also, I would like to rewrite the M5.Comm class because of its small size, and PR it as an MIT licensed file.
