I'll replace that with this license text:

I will clean-up all files.

Found several drivers that keep it by default enabled, should I change it to off?

Thank you, will try to address all the occurrences.

We'll remove those attributes completely.

Probably we can do this change and then use something like this in the code:
dpa_write_skb_ptr(skb, &skbh, addr, off);
dpa_read_skb_ptr(&skb, &skbh, addr, off);
