Merge tag 'spdx-5.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/spdx

Pull SPDX updates from Greg KH:
 "Here are three SPDX patches for 5.7-rc1.

  One fixes up the SPDX tag for a single driver, while the other two go
  through the tree and add SPDX tags for all of the .gitignore files as
  needed.

  Nothing too complex, but you will get a merge conflict with your
  current tree, that should be trivial to handle (one file modified by
  two things, one file deleted.)

  All three of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no
  reported issues other than the merge conflict"
