<font face="Red Hat Text">I just saw this and have not followed the
entire thread from the beginning, but if you are unsure if a given
license text to something on the SPDX License List, I highly
recommend using the SPDX License-diff browser extension / add-on
(for Chrome or Firefox) - once you have that, you can simply
highlight a text in your browser window and it will tell you if it
matches or how far off it is if not.<br>
<br>
If a license is NOT a match to anything on the SPDX License List,
please submit it to the SPDX legal team here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tools.spdx.org/app/submit_new_license/">https://tools.spdx.org/app/submit_new_license/</a> (and preferably
then tag me in the Github issue, my Github ide is @jlovejoy )
Please make sure to include that it's in the LInux kernel and a
link to where you found it. <br>
<br>
More about requesting a new license be added to the SPDX License
List can be found here:

Several files are missing SPDX license identifiers.
Following files are given the following SPDX identifier based on the comments in the top of the file:
include/asm/ibmebus.h:/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR OpenIB BSD */

"OpenIB BSD" is not a defined SPDX identifier. There is an SPDX
identifier "Linux-OpenIB"
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-OpenIB.html">https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-OpenIB.html</a>
but I believe that is not a match to what's in these files
(specifically, the wording of the disclaimer), rather I believe what
you want here is BSD-2-Clause, but you may want to check that.
