However, the code is not specific declaring _which_ license is being used (2.0 only or 2.0+ or even 1.0+). Given that, the only entity who can change the license text in this file would be the license holder (which is presumably why it wasn't touched when the SPDX conversion was made). On top of that, include/linux/module.h and other files also refer to "GNU Public License", so I don't really see the point of changing that. If anyone is still using this driver, it would make more sense to convert it to use the watchdog subsystem core. Guenter

You are entirely correct and my initial view of it as a spelling issue, was wrong. Please disregard the patch.
