The changes look good to me but there is one quirk with the
copyrights and SPDX in patch 2.

In the new fs/nls/nls_ucs2_utils.c, the SPDX line changes from
a "/* ... */" form to "// ...", which may be a proper update, but
then partway down, adds the same SPDX in "/* ... */ form. These
should at least be consistent.

Second, the copyright in fs/nls/nls_ucs2_utils.c is a bit of
a mash-up (adding 2009 especially).

I think it's better to keep the exact text of both copyrights,
perhaps with a note as to which files had them previously, and
adding some new note/blank line to separate the recent contributions
from Namjae and you from the ancient history.

Apart from considering these:
