Add the SPDX-license-identifier license agreement to more clearly
express the content of the license representative.

Is the kernel code covered by GPL-2-or-later by default or GPL-2?
IIRC Linus was not a fan of GPL-3, and my reading of the first few
paragraphs of license-rules.rst is that default is indeed just 2.0.
Could you find a reference to some document or discussion which would
support that "the same as all kernel sources" means 2-or-later, and add
it to the patch description?

sorry, I haven't found a more authoritative description about the GPL-2.0-or-later license. I saw some GPL-2.0-or-later licenses added in the patch submission. If I'm not sure if this is feasible, I will change it. Re-send patch for GPL-2.0 license.
