Subject: Re: [PATCH] drivers: power: supply: goldfish_battery: Fix bogus SPDX identifier

Hi, I am sorry for this warning. I remember I checked all changes I
sent, maybe missed this one.

At the bottom the file says

MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

and

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

makes it inconsistent.

Regards,
Roman.
