The recently added nvlink2 VFIO driver introduced a license conflict in two
files. In both cases the SPDX license identifier is:
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
but the files contain also the following license boiler plate text:
* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
* it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as
* published by the Free Software Foundation
The latter is GPL-2.9-only and not GPL-2.0=.
Looking deeper. The nvlink source file is derived from vfio_pci_igd.c which
is also licensed under GPL-2.0-only and it can be assumed that the file was
copied and modified. As the original file is licensed GPL-2.0-only it's not
possible to relicense derivative work to GPL-2.0-or-later.
Fix the SPDX identifier and remove the boiler plate as it is redundant.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
