I apologize for the incorrect license language. I followed other RDMA driver's license terms but didn't' realized their licensing language is not up to the standard.

The newly introduced EFA RDMA driver used the following license terms:
(drivers/infiniband/hw/efa/efa_main.c)
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR BSD-2-Clause

Is it acceptable that we use the same license terms?

Thanks,
Long
