Read this section if there are some SPDX warnings above. Pleasing checkpatch is hard when adding new files because:

  • checkpatch requests a different SPDX style for .c versus .h files. This is because some .h files are included in linker scripts or assembly code.
  • Some SOF reviewers reject C99 comments starting with //

A trick is to keep the SPDX separate, see solution below.

References:

Start .h files like this:

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: ... */
/*
 * Copyright(c) ...
 *
 * Author: ...
 */

Start .c files like this:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: ...
/*
 * Copyright(c) ...
 *
 * Author: ...
