So I know that this patch is two months old and already merged, but I
only just noticed it.  How is this patch legitimate?  Most of the
files updated to 2018 were not actually changed this year, so you are
effectively claiming a copyright extension that doesn't exist.  I've
seen other people submit patches that update copyright years, only to
be told that those patches should be part of some other patches that
actually update the content of the file (example:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg489232.html).
