I know I never take patches without any changelog text :(

That is the incorrect license of this file!

NEVER add or modify a SPDX line if you do not really really really know
what you are doing.  Putting the wrong license tag on a file is worse
than not having any tag at all.

BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THESE THINGS, they matter.  If you get them wrong,
lawyers get very grumpy :)

thanks,

For the outreachy application period you should work on drivers/staging.
If you want to work on something else, you shouldn't CC the mailing list,
and you take the risk that your change won't be applied before th end fo
the application period.
