Hello,

for Debian packaging having SPDX license tags already simplifies
creating the required copyright documentation considerably. Another
information that is needed for Debian packaging is the copyright
information. There is an SPDX way for copyright information, too. The
second patch converts scripts/kallsyms.c to that mechanism as an example
to maybe discuss if we want to do that in the kernel.

While the SPDX-FileCopyrightText is officially a free-form field, I
suggest to just stick to the format

	(<year> )?<copyright holder>

to simplify machine consumption even further.

Best regards
Uwe
