Sorry if I am nitpicking, but have you considered replacing this
beautiful piece of fine legalese with the new SPDX ids?
e.g. this:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
// Copyright (C) 2014 ARM Ltd.

Or if this does not work and your includes break something if they are
used in assembly, then this can work out too

See Thomas doc patches, and Greg and Linus comments on these topics.

This is much leaner, is it?
Less legalese comment also means more code and a better, smaller
boilerplate lines/total lines ratio!
Thank you for your kind consideration.
