I used the same format mentioned below, which also says OWL.
Meybe we can change both of them in a separate patch.

I might be wrong but I think it applies to this file too as there as there is a SPDX

I am not sure what you are trying to say here, but the SPDX identifier
requires an independent block comment. Hence placed the obove code in a
separate block comment. Everything else is as it is.

We can do this in a separate patch as this patch only talks about
the style.
