Ok I can do that, no issues with that.

As such, I changed according to Jonathan Corbet's article on LWN.
https://lwn.net/Articles/739183/
and also searched the SPDX identifier usage in the existing kernel
and I can see community following different ways including

(*) For Kernel C files:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
// Copyright (c) 2016-2017 Hisilicon Limited.

OR

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
/*

*/

OR

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+

(*) For Kernel h files:

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ */
/* Copyright (c) 2016-2017 Hisilicon Limited. */

(*) For Makefiles

# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+

OR

# id: Makefile
# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+


I could also make out from different articles, including from the below,
Linus suggesting moving to "//" type instead of starred ones for headers.

It looks SPDX change is still a suggestion?

Sure, thanks.
