No. It is not documented. But the majority of the source files in
Linux are using this header format like below, so I assume it is
something like a convention.
/*
* {filename --} file description
*
* Copyright ...
*
* License ...
*/
The Documentation/process/license-rules.rst only mentioned about the
requirement for SPDX tags. So I think we should keep the format for
other part of the header.
