Hi Hal,
Your mail didn't make it to the mailing list. It doesn't appear on the
archive at
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2026-January/thread.html and the
moderators of the mailing list cannot find your mail anywhere in the
system (in spams or filtered mails).
Can you consider subscribing to the list (here
https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot, Subscribing to U-Boot). You can
disable receiving all mails in the Options (Mail delivery: Disabled) if
you don't want to receive all mails (which I understand :) ).
Can you please resend your mail once that is done so it makes it to the
mailing list archive and I can point at this in the commit log for the
patch fixing the license? Alternatively, you can just send the patch
fixing the license yourself (but again, it'll need to make it to the
mailing list :) ).
Thanks!
Quentin

Hi all,
I recently did a license analysis of u-boot an I came across some
unclear license information in files. I do not know whether this is
the right place to put my points, nevertheless I want to share my
findings.
1. the file https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?

contains the following information SPDX-License-Identifier:
GPL-2.0-or-platform_driver which is not a valid license identifier, I
think GPL-2.0-or-later is meant here.
+Cc @Kuan Lim Lee, @Alex Soo, @Wei Liang Lim who contributed the
+driver,
they should be able to answer what the intended license was (I assume
the same as you).
Mails are bouncing.
+Cc @Hal Feng, @Minda Chen from the same company.
It's OK to change the license to
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
Keep the same license as drivers/mmc/sdhci-cadence.h which was added
in the same commit fe11aa0b8ca3.
Best regards,
Hal
