The Free Software Foundation does not reside in "59 Temple Place"
anymore, so we should not mention that address in the source code here.
But instead of updating the address to their current location, let's
rather drop the license boilerplate text here and use a proper SPDX
license identifier instead. The text talks about the "GNU *Lesser*
General Public License" and "any later version", so LGPL-2.1+ is the
right choice here.

v2: Don't use the deprecated LGPL-2.1+ identifier
If you look at the LICENSES/preferred/LGPL-2.1 file, it says to use:
SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+
as the kernel's SPDX level is older than you might think.
Ok, got it, then please ignore this v2 and use v1 instead.
Also, doesn't the scripts/spdxcheck.pl tool object to the "or-later"
when you run it on the tree with this change in it?
I used the scripts/checkpatch.pl which is also supposed to check SPDX tags,
and it did not complain...
