I have been doing them in 2 steps, but only because the files I modified
were in different "chunks" (i.e. add missing SPDX identifiers to a bunch
of files in a directory, and then the second patch would remove the
license identifiers for all files in that directory).  As that type of
patch flow doesn't make sense here, I think what you did was just fine.

Nice job.
