This patch corrects the SPDX License Identifier style in
header file related Actions Semi OWL pinctrl driver.

I used the same format mentioned below, which also says OWL.
Meybe we can change both of them in a separate patch.

For C header files Documentation/process/license-rules.rst
mandates C-like comments (opposed to C source files where
C++ style should be used).

Changes made by using a script provided by Joe Perches here:

This is not a uapi or asm header, which that /* */ rule was later added
for, I thought?
I might be wrong but I think it applies to this file too as there as there is a SPDX
identifier in the first place.

Not objecting, just making sure we're not blindly refactoring code.
I am not sure what you are trying to say here, but the SPDX identifier
requires an independent block comment. Hence placed the obove code in a
separate block comment. Everything else is as it is.
If doing this, I suggest updating to GPL-2.0-or-later.
We can do this in a separate patch as this patch only talks about
the style.

Andreas
