I did that with the same idea on my mind, that this is not a license change.
Prior to the change I also went through the log and reviewed few commits that
did exactly the same thing and did not receive Ack or something from the
original authors nor further contributors.

Just one example:

4ac0d3f ("eeprom: at24: use SPDX identifier instead of GPL boiler-plate")

Thanks,
Michal
