So the way I see this is GPLv2 only (so GPLv3 is not included).
> +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ */
But this is GPLv2 or later (including GPLv3 for example).
LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 contains more info about the tags.
Also for SPDX tags in .c files you should use C++ comment style '//',
BUT in .h files normal C comment style '/* */'. Confusing, I know :/
