AFAICT there are a couple of reasons why this has gone unnoticed:
 - summary is the pretty ambiguous
 - commit does two thigs

Another thing to consider is that this patch touches a single file,
while the exact same issue is also present in many other files.

Quick look at the following lists:
head -n2 drivers/gpu/drm/drm_*[ch]  | less

drm_agpsupport.c
drm_dma.c
drm_legacy_misc.c
drm_lock.c
drm_memory.c
drm_scatter.c
drm_vm.c

If you can fixup the s|/**|/*| in the above, I'd gladly merge the patch.

On the topic of SPDX - no objection on my end, but it should be a
separate patch, which replaces the explicit verbose license text with
the tag.

Thanks
Emil
