The FSFE REUSE practices [1] recommend to add a "License-Filename" tag to
files which don't contain the complete license text. The GPL-2.0 files
usually only have a small notice at the beginning of the file. The longer
license is usually stored in a separate file and therefore should be
referenced accordingly.
Nothing else in entire kernel tree uses this.

I strongly discourage you from doing something at this level that is
not in accordance with some kind of precendence or official
recommendation for the rest of the kernel project.

If you want this to start happening, discuss it on a global scale
on lkml.

I'm definitely not pulling this tree with these changes in it.

Sorrry.
