So, first, iirc GPL-2.0+ is deprecated, but still valid, yes? We should use the current form of all tags moving forward as I do remember there's a reason for the switch to "-or-later" from "+". But second, the linux kernel is still full of "GPL-2.0+" including dts files that this patch changes, and so will get lost again on re-sync.
I cannot find GPL-2.0+ in https://spdx.org/licenses/ anymore. It was marked deprecated in 2017.
Yes, deprecated is still valid. A quick peek at the kernel shows ~4600 "+" and ~8800 "or-later". So please re-work this to not touch the dts and binding files that come from Linux, so we don't revert this change on resyncs, thanks.
