I do not think this is correct.

What happened to the code in 2019, 2020, and 2021? It's unclear. Have you
consulted with our lawyer about this?

That said, I _think_ (not your lawyer though) that the correct one should be

* Copyright (C) 2017-2018,2022 Intel Corporation, Inc.

If you wanted to correct that, perhaps it should be done in a separate patch
first with explanation for those years in the gap. Unfortunately I haven't
found any description for those.

Ditto for the rest similar cases.
