after some regexp on arch/arm/boot/dts, the current state is:
216 SPDX identifiers total
	184 by GregKH in b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd starting with //
	2 times /*  also by GregKH in the commit above (in .h files)
	27 occurrences of  "* SPDX"

However, the de-facto comment style in the arm devicetrees seems to be /* */
So with the current information I would prepare v3 with:

// SPDX-License-Identifier
/* Copyright-text + Header
*/
[...]
