Thanks for checking this. I assumed that the discussions on SPDX were
finished. For now, I'll keep using a license text at the Kernel
(on media and on another file dual-licensed GPL and GFDL).

I'm keeping the patches changing the license on a temp branch. I'll
re-submit them once the patch gets merged at SPDX specs tree.

Btw, another file using both GPL and GFDL was just added via the
media tree[1]. I need to remember that when re-submitting this one,
as otherwise it would be a left-over.

[1] Due to historic reasons, media userspace API is licensed under
GFDL. We're using a dual-license model for newer files at the
media uAPI book.

Thanks!
Mauro
