How do you know that the correct copyright year is 2026?
The copyright years does not change to today just because it is the year
it was submitted.

At least it should include 2026 because it is new files in kernel tree.

I think that you should refrain yourself for doing these kind of changes
to the code when you apply patches.

If original owner have concern, I can update it in my tree.

Hi Francesco, hi Frank,

thanks for the clarification.

In this specific case, I'm fine with keeping 2026 for these new files
introduced in the kernel tree.

Thank you all for taking care of this!

Best regards,
Stefano
