Subject: [patch 0/2] LICENSES: Fix fallout from recent SPDX conversions

Recent SPDX conversions introduced new wreckage:

 arch/sh/lib/ashiftrt.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0
 ...
 arch/sh/include/mach-ecovec24/mach/partner-jet-setup.txt: 1:38 Invalid token: "
 ,,,

The first group is due to using an exception identifier without adding the
exception text to the LICENSES directory.

The second one is due to the magic conment format in the SuperH bootcode
files.

At least the first one could have been caught by checkpatch.pl:

WARNING: 'SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH GCC-exception-2.0' is not supported in LICENSES/...
#38: FILE: arch/sh/lib/ashiftrt.S:1:
+/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH GCC-exception-2.0

....

The following series addresses both issues.

Thanks,
