PS1, Line 108: check_for_license 'SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note'
> Shouldn't it be GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note? I believe this syntax may be deprecated. (If Linux files are still using it, we'd have to decide whether we prefer taking them as is or fixing the license header for them.)

I don't know much about licensing, can you point to some references that indicate that this is deprecated? There are 612 such files today in Linux with this license in include/uapi. So I'm not sure.

+dtor, would you be open to a linux patch changing the license on top of input-event-codes.h to "GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note"?
