Hmm... it defaults to analyze the first 15 lines:

ap.add_argument('-m', '--maxlines', type=int, default=15,
help='Maximum number of lines to scan in a file. Default 15')

So, I guess it won't require any changes.

Good point. I'll write a patch fixing the SPDX location at the three
files where the coding location is at the wrong place.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] docs: sphinx: add SPDX header for some sphinx extensions

Those extensions are released under GPLv2, as stated at the
:license: markup tag.

Add the corresponding SPDX tags for such license.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tools: intel_pstate_tracer.py: fix SPDX header in the light of PEP-263

As stated at PEP-263, the coding tag should be at the first or
second line. On those two scripts, the tag is at the wrong line.

Place it at the right place and use the same kind of line that we're
using on other python scripts that also work fine with emacs.
