  • This patch corrects the SPDX License Identifier style in
    header file related to Kernel driver API to route trace data.
    For C header files Documentation/process/license-rules.rst
    mandates C-like comments (opposed to C source files where
    C++ style should be used).

    Changes made by using a script provided by Joe Perches here:

  • Now that the SPDX tag is in all tty 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 drivers/tty 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.

  • The n_tracerouter and n_tracesink line discpline drivers use the
    Linux tty line discpline framework to route trace data coming
    from a tty port (say UART for example) to the trace sink line
    discipline driver and to another tty port(say USB). Those
    these two line discipline drivers can be used together,
    independently from pti.c, they are part of the original
    implementation solution of the MIPI P1149.7, compact JTAG, PTI
    solution for Intel mobile platforms starting with the
    Medfield platform.
