IANAL, I think you're missing this license. Is looks like some sort
of BSD to me.
Ufff, thanks, I should pay more attention when it is a test imported
from elsewhere.

It doesn't say "or later".
Looks like we cannot just remove this license. So what about moving this
text into a separate COPYING file and changing the SPDX to GPL-v2.0?
This file is dual licensed, better keep it dual licensed.

HHmm, this appears to be the BSD-3-Clause license with the following
text inserted in the middle:

I don't see any corresponding SPDX identifier or exception for this. It
is probably easiest and safest just to keep it as-is.
I think the Linux kernel uses:
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR
BSD-3-Clause) */
e.g.:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10/source/include/uapi/linux/can/gw.h
Thanks Marc!
Yes, indeed it is a GPLv2 / BSD3 dual license to use it in both
environments.

Oliver
