The files there are a mix: a few list just:

# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
or:
# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
or:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
or:
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */

( Kconfig Makefile dpaa2-ptp.[ch] dprtc-cmd.h dprtc.[ch] )

The others (most) list:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause)
or:
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause) */

The Copyrights seem to be Freescale Semiconductor Inc. and/or
NXP when documented on a file. May be they would be willing
to add the BSD-3-Clause where it is missing?
