[PATCH v2 00/10] Treewide GPL SPDX conversion and cleanup (in response to Didi's GPL full name fixes)

I trigger this patch series as a response to Didi's GPL full name fix
patches [1], for which all of them had been NAKed. In many cases, the
appropriate correction is to use SPDX license identifier instead.

Often, when replacing license notice boilerplates with their equivalent
SPDX identifier, the notice doesn't mention explicit GPL version. Greg
[2] replied this question by falling back to GPL 1.0 (more precisely
GPL 1.0+ in order to be compatible with GPL 2.0 used by Linux kernel),
although there are exceptions (mostly resolved by inferring from
older patches covering similar situation).

The series covers the same directories touched as Didi's ones, minus
Documentation/ (as should have been inferred by SPDX tags on respective
docs).

Changes since v1 ([3]):
  * Cc: additional original authors that are missed in v1
  * Pick up Reviewed-by: and Acked-by: tags from review
  * Fix spdxcheck and SPDX-related checkpatch warnings
  * Fix a few tag oversights.
