Why did you pick this specific license?  It does not seem to match the
license text in this file at all.

Be _VERY_ careful when doing stuff like this.  If you get the license
wrong, lawyers can get mad at you :(

Also, the file name "dot11d.c" should be in the subject line, as you are
not adding the identifer to the whole driver, only one file.

Please fix this up and resend the whole series.

thanks,

No, the original variable name is fine, don't shorten things for no good
reason.

None of those lines were over 80 characters, so why did you change

Same with this function, what is wrong with it as-is?

Why change these lines?

As was said before, checkpatch is a hint, not a hard rule.  You always
need to think when making changes.

I read online that the default license is GPL-2.0+  as it is not indicated
in the file. I think I was wrong. I would have asked the maintainer first.
Okay, I will just reset it and try to think how to deal with it . I have in
mind a GPL 1.0+ as it covers from 1 and above, I don t know if it can be
fine. I have to ask the maintainer. I am sorry.

Where did you read that?  The default license for the Linux kernel is
"GPL-2.0" no "+" at all.

As the wording of the text says to refer to the LICENSE file, and that
is GPLv2, that should be the license for this file as well.

But if you do not understand license issues, I would stay away from this
and work on other tasks.  It's tricky and people get upset if you get it
wrong :)

I am sorry about that , I will not guess next time. I will be more careful.
I will update it to v2. I have also seen in the header it's GPL-2.0 🙈
