Two different logical changes in a patch - please break them into a
2-patch series, with each patch do one job. And please write the patch
description in imperative mood instead (e.g. "Do foo").

NAK!

There is also BSD 3-clause boilerplate (from original code that fcrypt.c
is based on). Thus, the proper SPDX tag should have been:

```
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later AND BSD-3-Clause
```

And please also delete the boilerplate.

Thanks.
