It is customary to make note of the patch revision in the subject. In your case that would be [PATCH v3] for this patch and [PATCH v4] for the next iteration. Speaking of the subject, a better subject for this message would have been
Subject: [PATCH v3] i2c: slave: use SPDX license information
Also, when doing multiple revisions of a patch it is valuable to record the history of changes, so that reviewers get a reminder of what has happened. For a single patch, this space here, just before the first "diff" line is a good spot for that patch history. For a trivial patch like this, this is not super-important, but still best practice.

Apparently, GPL-2.0+ is a thing of the past. Should be GPL-2.0-or-later according to https://spdx.org/licenses/

I said "line", not "lines". The above line should be left as-is.
