Subject: Re: [v4,1/9] net-next: phy: new Asix Electronics PHY driver

Hi Andrew,

no objection for you to pick this up as part as a larger cleanup. I've 
tried to reconstruct how this happened (i.e. what other phy driver file 
I used as a 'template' for asix.c) - all I can say is that the 2.0+ 
boiler plate text was in my initial commit, and the incorrect SPDX tag 
was added in response to checkpath complaints. So 2.0+ would be correct.

Thomas: does that suit your purpose?

Cheers,

     Michael
