  • Now that the SPDX tag is in all driver core files, that identifies the
    license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
    wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

    This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
    the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
    like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
    needed.

    No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

  • It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
    audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

    Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
    identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
    identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
    the full boiler plate text.

    This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
    Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

  • We don't need a kset here, a simple kobject will do just fine, so
    dynamically create the kobject and use it.

    We also rename hypervisor_subsys to hypervisor_kset to catch all users
    of the variable.

  • We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
    explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
    can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
    assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

    This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

    Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young
