Bear in mind I'm not a kernel developer so I might very well be missing something, but AFAIK the `GPL-2.0` SPDX identifier is just an older, deprecated variant with the same meaning as `GPL-2.0-only`. (Just like `GPL-2.0+` which is a deprecated version of `GPL-2.0-or-later`.) Anyway, this patch looks like a nice improvement. [...] Best regards, Piotr Mas=C5=82owski
