I had some doubts on this one, indeed. How should it be done in
this case:

1. Strictly by Thomas documentation:

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */

/*
* Copyright (C) 2009 Samsung Electronics Ltd.
* Jaswinder Singh <jassi.brar@xxxxxxxxxxx>
*/

or

2. with a little interpretation

/*
* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
*
* Copyright (C) 2009 Samsung Electronics Ltd.
* Jaswinder Singh <jassi.brar@xxxxxxxxxxx>
*/

(I opted for the one with the least number of changes)

Thanks,
Andi
