And while I know that the Linux kernel still wants the GPL-2.0+ tag,
I'm really not sure if we should use the deprecated tag in Barebox, or
if it would better to go straight to the GPL-2.0-or-later tag.

GPL-2.0-or-later is canon since version 2.0 of the SPDX standard [0]. I
don't see any reason to stick with an outdated standard if we're just
starting with it.

According to the link, we should use:
GPL-2.0-only and GPL-2.0-or-later
instead of:
GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+
