If you do this then you'll never waste another moment discussing licenses for the rest of your life. It's just "because it's what Linux uses" to the end of time.
And even if there's some future question about license enforcement or whatever wrt gplv2, it will get decided within Linux/Linux Foundation/etc. and you just surf in on whatever happens without a care in the world.
Same with what-ifs about, say, code potentially going back and forth between your project and whatever part of Linux becomes written in Rust. With MIT you'll get GPL zealots and/or MIT trolls chatting your head off about legal things they don't understand. With GPLv2 <-> GPLv2, it all gets optimized out. :)
In any case, MIT 3-clause is a fine license so use that if you have your reasons. But trust me, optimizing out low-effort discussions of software licenses is worth it if you can do it. :)
