Adopted from the Linux Kernel[0] store store SPDX identifiers at the

Both the `GPL-2.0` and `GPL-2.0+` identifiers are deprecated[1] and are
in contrast to the Linux Kernel not added. When adding such headers it
should be the latest SPDX version.

Thanks for merging the first patch, do you have any doubts regarding the
SPDX tags?
We could use a scripts that automatically checks if added code uses the
correct SPDX license.
