Are you sure you mean "or any later version"?  I have to ask.


Thank Greg for the review.

Will change all to SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later in next
version.

That is not what I am asking (the SPDX tag format).  I mean, do you
really mean "or later" for your license as that is not the license of
the kernel overall?  If so, wonderful, but I have to ask that as your
legal group needs to be aware of it, sorry.


Dear Greg,

My sincere thanks for bringing this up. This would need help from our legal team to recheck/review and will make appropriate change in my next version.
