Could it make sense, especially for new files, to use the new SPDX ids
and avoid adding boilerplate that will need to be cleaned up later?
e.g. something like this instead, using the new conventions started by

NB: the // comment  style is not a mistake and is what Linus wants
there. See the threads on this topic.

BTW, if you need help to fix this on the rest of Linaro contributed
