Seems at least inside TI, we do have a copyright template that has
been aligned on:
/*
* Function of the file
*
* Copyright (C) 2012 Texas Instruments Incorporated - http://www.ti.com/
* Nishanth Menon

As long as GPL V2 is maintained, I dont see any issues. Adding
historic stuff is nice to have, I usually maintain that esp when
taking code from tarballs to just be sure to provide appropriate
credits.
