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

Oh and I am the one that did that 9y ago. I think I was inspired by
the PPC series source files I was working on at the time.


## 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

    SPDX-License-Identifier, without changing code.

Does this approach sound reasonable for you?

LGTM. I will merge these changes through the aspeed tree.

Thanks,

C.
