True, we do need to go through the copyright headers for all the
drivers and make sure they are consistent.  Not sure if I want to "add"
those kind of changes to this patch, but I will take it under
consideration.

As far as the "one" patch versus many patches, as it stand with just
the SPDX change, I am sure David Miller would rather have one patch to
make this change versus 8 patches.  This is based on my experiences in
the past when dealing with changes like this.
