[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] devtools: add SPDX license tag check script

[Hemant Agrawal]

HI Stephen,
	Will you please enhance it to also provide number of files in each category? 

We also need to think about how to handle the scripts "*.sh", as many of these are without SPDX.
 - we can either leave them as it is.
Or , we can put the SPDX header without a copyright? 

Regards,
Hemant
