Kalle,
What is your position regarding license information? Should the standard GPL-V2
boiler plate be replaced with "SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0" in wireless files?
Thanks,
Larry

I don't think replacing licenses with SPDX identifiers is very
important, but I can apply patches if someone wants to convert drivers.
And at the moment I'm not planning to require SPDX identifiers in new
files.

Please read Documentation/process/license-rules.rst. We are sticking
with the "old" SPDX identifiers for now as they changed after we already
started marking up the kernel source tree.
thanks,

"GPL-2.0" tag is deprecated [0] .
It should be used:
for GNU General Public License v2.0 only: "GPL-2.0-only"
for GNU General Public License v2.0 or later: "GPL-2.0-or-later"
