There's a fair number of style inconsistencies in the kernel
sources for that already.
~8% of the .h files that have an 'SPDX-License-Identifier:'
don't use the recommended style.
$ git grep -h "SPDX-License" -- '*.h' | \
perl -p -e 's@Identifier:.*\*/*@Identifier: ... */@; s@Identifier:
[^\.].*@Identifier:@' | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
8506 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ... */
593 // SPDX-License-Identifier:
154 /* SPDX-License-Identifier:
53 * SPDX-License-Identifier:
1 * SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
1 //SPDX-License-Identifier:
1 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ... */
