Thanks for the ping. I assume you mean the GPLv2 variants from here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0?h=v5.18-rc7 In that case, I'd say that the intent was to follow what Linus had been using: i.e. GPL-2.0 or GPL-2.0-only. That said, since it was Tom that got this code included and did most of the work on it, I think he'd have to confirm what his view was as well.
