Replace short statement in comment with proper SPDX license tag.

Note, for i2c-desingware-slave.c the identifier is chosen
in accordance with MODULE_LICENSE() macro since it is visible to user.
Another point to this choice is that the header seems to be copy'n'paste
from the other file of this very driver.

I'm not an expert here but which one has the priority here: "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.", even if it was a copy-paste, or MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2")? Just thinking can the identifier be "GPL-2.0-or-later" for this file?
