Two things. It's not a 'mistake' as this driver massively predates the use of
SPDX tags! Also, there is a problem here as it's current licensing is
inconsistent. The MODULE_LICENSE is GPL-2.0 which would be GPL-2.0 (no +)
but the original comment was +.

Michael, do you want to take a view on this one? Copyright is Analog's
so should be fine if you say what is preferred.

Thanks,

Jonathan
