Subject: [PATCH] headers: Remove some left-over license text in include/uapi/rdma/
Date:   Sun, 25 Sep 2022 15:39:58 +0200
Message-Id: <6b2b69c1eb89a37b95d17a1e866c2e8173c6fd15.1664113175.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

There is already a SPDX-License-Identifier tag, so the corresponding
license text can be removed.

Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>
---
Changes in the 2 files under rdma/hfi/ is a bit more than just removing
the license text. There were some Copyright(c) for GPL and BSD licence.
I have simplified it to what look logical to me.
But in case it matters, review with care.

In include/uapi/rdma/qedr-abi.h, an extar line has been added at the top
of the file to improve style.
