I trigger this patch series as a response to Didi's GPL full name fix
patches [1], for which all of them had been NAKed. In many cases, the
appropriate correction is to use SPDX license identifier instead.

Often, when replacing license notice boilerplates with their equivalent
SPDX identifier, the notice doesn't mention explicit GPL version. Greg
[2] replied this question by falling back to GPL 1.0 (more precisely
GPL 1.0+ in order to be compatible with GPL 2.0 used by Linux kernel),
although there are exceptions (mostly resolved by inferring from
older patches covering similar situation).

The series covers the same directories touched as Didi's ones, minus
Documentation/ (as should have been inferred by SPDX tags on respective
docs).

Changes since v1 ([3]):
  * Cc: additional original authors that are missed in v1
  * Pick up Reviewed-by: and Acked-by: tags from review
  * Fix spdxcheck and SPDX-related checkpatch warnings
  * Fix a few tag oversights.

I'm glad to take these types of changes through the SPDX tree, but
please break them up into smaller changes that show the justification
for each type of change in each subsystem, so that we can evaluate them
on an individual basis.  As you did here, you are lumping things
together only by the existance of the file in the tree, not by the
logical type of change happening, which isn't ok.

Also, you can send them as subsystem-specific series, so as to not have
to cross-post all of the changes all over the place.  I doubt the drm
developers care about ethernet driver license issues :)

thanks,

greg k-h
