Hi Marcelo,

The patch subject should have a subsystem prefix (e.g. the full subject
should have been "[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: mod_freesync: Remove duplicate
copyright boilerplate").

For patch description, I'd like to write it as "mod_freesync header file
has duplicated copyright boilerplate. Drop the duplicate". And make
sure that your Signed-off-by: trailer is on the bottom of description,
before triple dashes (`git commit -s` does it for you).

The diff itself LGTM.
