Change SPDX from GPL-2.0 to GPL-2.0-only for Intel-contributed code. This was explicit before the transition to SPDX and lost in translation.
It is also explicit in the "GPL-2.0" lines as well, did you read the LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 file for the allowed tags to be used for this license?
So this doesn't change anything, and we are trying to cut down on this type of churn until, maybe, after the whole kernel has proper SPDX lines.
My commit message was misleading, sorry. For SoundWire, we recently added new files with GPL-2.0-only (master + sysfs), as recommended since the short GPL-2.0 identifier is deprecated (https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-2.0.html https://spdx.org/licenses/).
Again, that is the SPDX new list, of course they want to depreciate older versions. But we started the kernel conversion _before_ the newer version was there, let's not worry about changing anything at this point in time as that is unneeded churn.
For new files, fine, pick which ever tag you want to use as documented in the LICENSES/* files, but do not change existing ones please.
thanks,
