Hi Cédric,

Thanks for pointing me to the earlier thread, moving to
the `SPDX-License-Identifier` tags is the better long-term fix.

To keep traffic on qemu-devel@ manageable, I'd like to work
subtree by subtree, following the sections in MAINTAINERS.

Just a handful in the ASPEED code base using MIT:

    hw/ssi/aspeed_smc.c
    include/hw/ssi/aspeed_smc.h
    tests/qtest/aspeed_gpio-test.c
    tests/qtest/aspeed_smc-test.c
    tests/qtest/aspeed-smc-utils.c
    tests/qtest/aspeed-smc-utils.h


## Proposed steps

1. Start with the ASPEED BMC subtree.

2. Split commits by path and header style.
   path: hw/, include/hw/, tests/
   license: GPL-2.0-or-later, GPL-2.0-only, MIT
   style: boiler plate, see COPYING

3. Drop the boiler-plate, replace with the correct
   SPDX-License-Identifier, without changing code.

Does this approach sound reasonable for you?


Thanks again for the guidance!

Best regards,
Sean Wei
