Do you mind using the new SPDX ids instead of this long legalese?
You can check the doc patches from Thomas for details [1]

This is different issue. If we need to fix the issue of this if we update SPDX licensing as well.
I am agree with you on the use of the new SPDX IDs instead of the long legalese.
For this, we have to add the text "// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0" at the top of the file and remove the 
whole license part and keep on copyright and Author name related info. After change, it looks like
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

And for a short comment block like this, Linus preference is to avoid
mixing comment style and go all the way C++ style as in:

... for even less boilerplate ;)

See Linus comments for a rationale [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Thanks a lot for the link.
Do you want to me to update along with SPDX in this patchset with V2 or we will update in the next patchset once this patch merge?

If anyone does conversions of these license texts
you have to be _extremely_ careful about what
specific license identifier you use.

This license includes the text
	"or (at your option) any later version"
which is not the same as using
	SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

I have given this SPDX ID based on the current license info in the driver. Yeah. I give the authority to author pali.rohar@gmail.com to decide the SPDX text.

Hi! I think that license of this module is clear and does not need more
comments. Part "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any
later version." expresses what it exactly mean and it is standard
license also used by other projects.

No, you have not.
You have done it incorrectly.

I got your point. SPDX text should be "SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+".
Am i Right?

Whatever you come up with I will apply taking into consideration the following:
1. Linus' preference over comment style.
2. Module author(s) blessing for the change.

Without above on the table I would not even look into the message.

P.S. And personally I'm a bit sceptical about standalone (coment)
style changes. I would rather not to apply anything like this without
real need.

That's not for me to decide, I am just a lowly licensing elf helper scruffy!

PS: you might want to avoid sending HTML email on lkml, FWIW.
