checkpatch.pl complains these are invalid because the rules in Documentation/process/license-rules.rst state that C headers should have "/* */" style comments.

The SPDX markings are special, but I don't see anything from a quick read of the SPDX specification that says they have to use //. I think this is going to generate a lot of possible noise so it might be worth adjusting checkpatch.

Thanks, Laura
