Hi Cédric,

Thank you for the quick review and for suggesting the SPDX approach.

Before we respin the patch, could you please confirm the scope below?


1. For the two headers currently under review
   (aspeed_i2c.h and aspeed_timer.h)

   I will drop the multi-line GPL boiler-plate and replace it
   with SPDX line, while keeping the copyright statements.


2. For the other ASPEED-maintained files

       hw/*/*aspeed*
       include/hw/*/*aspeed*
       tests/*/*aspeed*

   Would you prefer to convert them as well? If so, I'd prefer to
   send a dedicated patch series after this one.


3. Replacement rule:

   * multi-line GPL boiler-plate
     -> replace with SPDX

   * existing short two-line notice
       This code is licensed under the GPL version 2 or later.
       See the COPYING file in the top-level directory.
     -> leave unchanged

   Is that correct?


4. If we do the wider sweep,
   should MIT-licensed ASPEED files also be updated by replacing
   their boiler-plate with SPDX identifier in the same patch series?


Please let me know what works best for you and I will send v2 accordingly.

Thanks again for the guidance,
Sean Wei
