Subject: [PATCH] x86/mtrr: Remove license boilerplate text with bad FSF address
From: Thomas Huth <thuth@...hat.com>
The Free Software Foundation does not reside in "675 Mass Ave, Cambridge"
anymore, so we should not mention that address in the source code here.
But instead of updating the address to their current location, let's
rather drop the license boilerplate text here and use a proper SPDX
license identifier instead. The text talks about the "GNU *Library*
General Public License" and "any later version", so LGPL-2.0+ is the
right choice here.
