I tried your patch, but when running checkpatch.pl on
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10790203/, I still get:
WARNING: 'SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */' is not supported in LICENSES/...
#75: FILE: drivers/remoteproc/mtk_common.h:1:
+/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */

Feels that these two patches fix different issues.
