No, but I'm not exactly going out of my way to do anything with them.
As far as I know these files don't get touched during builds, they just
exist in the kernel tree.  If there is some way of generating warnings
from them there are quite a lot of other such files already there and
doing so.  Like I say I can't find any evidence that anyone has looked
at adding SPDX to these files, as far as I know the long term plan such
as it is is to convert to other formats and I can't immediately think
how one would do it otherwise in a way that works well.

I'm sure the license compliance people would find adding annotations
useful but working out how to do that sensibly for these files seems
beyond the scope of this series.
