SPDX tag is in 2nd line, first line of files is still "/*-" or it's 
variances.

Linux uses the SPDX in the very first line as it will help in checkpatch 
and other tools.

The proposed licenses/README states:
"DPDK uses first line of the file to be SPDX tag. In case of *#!* 
scripts, SPDX tag can be placed in 2nd line of the file.

Also, do you plan to modify the "dual BSD/GPLv2" in separate patch set? 
e.g icp_qat_fw.h?
