Hello,

When you make a series, you should also make a cover letter that gives an
overview of what is done in the series.  You can find information about
how to do this in the tutorial.

Also, previously Greg has asked that patches that add SPDX identifiers be
accompanised by subsequent patches that remove existing boilerplate
license text, if there is any.  So you may want to check on this.

These files do not have any license boilerplate, I just used the wrong
comment character when I did the initial conversion to SPDX a year ago
:(

All 4 of these patches had the same identical subject line, yet they did
different things :(

Please make them unique by at least adding the filename to the subject
line.  See other patches on this mailing list for examples of how to do
this.

thanks,
