This license information is broken. The SPDX license identifier and the
boiler plate text are contradicting. The SPDX id is GPL v2 only and the
boiler plate says v2 or later.

Please decide which version you want and fix ASAP. If you fix that up
please add a Fixes: tag and cc stable. While at it please remove the boiler
plate text as the SPDX id is sufficient and the boiler plate is redundant
information.

See Documentation/process/license-rules.txt

Thanks,
