Is there some intended meaning behind this distinction? Bear in mind
I'm not a kernel developer so I might very well be missing something,
but AFAIK the `GPL-2.0` SPDX identifier is just an older, deprecated
variant with the same meaning as `GPL-2.0-only`. (Just like `GPL-2.0+`
which is a deprecated version of `GPL-2.0-or-later`.)

Anyway, this patch looks like a nice improvement.
