checkpatch.pl complains these are invalid because the rules in
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst state that C headers should
have "/* */" style comments.
The SPDX markings are special, but I don't see anything from a
quick read of the SPDX specification that says they have to use //.
I think this is going to generate a lot of possible noise so it
might be worth adjusting checkpatch.
Thanks,

Under section 2 of "License identifier syntax" in the license rules
file, it shows the preferred style for each type of file. Apparently
there was some build breakage with // in header files so I assume they
want /* */ for uniformity sake.
Thanks!

Ah thanks for pointing me to that. I parsed your commit text completely
wrong. My biggest concern is being consistent and not breaking anything
so assuming this patch aligns with that:
