    vfio/pci: Cleanup license mess · 33e5ee78
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The recently added nvlink2 VFIO driver introduced a license conflict in two
    files. In both cases the SPDX license identifier is:
    
      SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
    
    but the files contain also the following license boiler plate text:
    
      * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
      * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as
      * published by the Free Software Foundation
    
    The latter is GPL-2.9-only and not GPL-2.0=.
    
    Looking deeper. The nvlink source file is derived from vfio_pci_igd.c which
    is also licensed under GPL-2.0-only and it can be assumed that the file was
    copied and modified. As the original file is licensed GPL-2.0-only it's not
    possible to relicense derivative work to GPL-2.0-or-later.
    
    Fix the SPDX identifier and remove the boiler plate as it is redundant.
