There has to be a blank line after the SPDX line, or you get warnings like this:
Documentation/tools/rtla/common_appendix.rst:2: WARNING: Explicit markup ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent. [docutils]
To atone for my dropping this, I went in and amended the patch with the obvious - no need to resend. In the future, though, please always build the docs after making changes to be sure that all is well. Thanks, jon
