Commit b5f57384805a ("drm/amdkfd: Add sysfs bitfields and enums to uAPI")
adds include/uapi/linux/kfd_sysfs.h with the "GPL-2.0 OR MIT WITH
Linux-syscall-note" SPDX-License expression.
The command ./scripts/spdxcheck.py warns:
include/uapi/linux/kfd_sysfs.h: 1:48 Exception not valid for license MIT: Linux-syscall-note
For a uapi header, the file under GPLv2 License must be combined with the
Linux-syscall-note, but combining the MIT License with the
Linux-syscall-note makes no sense, as the note provides an exception for
GPL-licensed code, not for permissively licensed code.
So, reorganize the SPDX expression to only combine the note with the GPL
License condition. This makes spdxcheck happy again.

I am not a lawyer and I do not intend to modify the actual licensing of
this header file. So, I really would like to have an Ack from some AMD
developer here.
Maybe also a lawyer on the linux-spdx list can check my reasoning on the
licensing with the exception note?

I believe "MIT WITH Linux-syscall-note" is a syntactically correct
SPDX expression but is otherwise sort of non-meaningful.
"(GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT" is presumably what is
intended here. But yes would be good to get confirmation from someone
associated with AMD.

Thanks Lukas, I agree that this is indeed clearer.
