From 8e82fe2ab65a80b1526b285c661ab88cc5891e3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2019 12:22:42 +0900 Subject: treewide: fix typos of SPDX-License-Identifier Prior to the adoption of SPDX, it was difficult for tools to determine the correct license due to incomplete or badly formatted license text. The SPDX solves this issue, assuming people can correctly spell "SPDX-License-Identifier" although this assumption is broken in some places. Since scripts/spdxcheck.py parses only lines that exactly matches to the correct tag, it cannot (should not) detect this kind of error. If the correct tag is missing, scripts/checkpatch.pl warns like this: WARNING: Missing or malformed SPDX-License-Identifier tag in line * So, people should notice it before the patch submission, but in reality broken tags sometimes slip in. The checkpatch warning is not useful for checking the committed files globally since large number of files still have no SPDX tag. Also, I am not sure about the legal effect when the SPDX tag is broken. Anyway, these typos are absolutely worth fixing. It is pretty easy to find suspicious lines by grep. $ git grep --not -e SPDX-License-Identifier --and -e SPDX- -- \ :^LICENSES :^scripts/spdxcheck.py :^*/license-rules.rst arch/arm/kernel/bugs.c:// SPDX-Identifier: GPL-2.0 drivers/phy/st/phy-stm32-usbphyc.c:// SPDX-Licence-Identifier: GPL-2.0 drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pfc-r8a77980.c:// SPDX-Lincense-Identifier: GPL 2.0 lib/test_stackinit.c:// SPDX-Licenses: GPLv2 sound/soc/codecs/max9759.c:// SPDX-Licence-Identifier: GPL-2.0 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pfc-r8a77980.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc') diff --git a/drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pfc-r8a77980.c b/drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pfc-r8a77980.c index 473da65890a7..9ed4ead2dafb 100644 --- a/drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pfc-r8a77980.c +++ b/drivers/pinctrl/sh-pfc/pfc-r8a77980.c @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -// SPDX-Lincense-Identifier: GPL 2.0 +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 /* * R8A77980 processor support - PFC hardware block. * -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
