The recent addition of SPDX license identifiers to the files in
drivers/net/ethernet/sun created a licensing conflict.

The cassini driver files contain a proper license notice:

  * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
  * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
  * published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
  * License, or (at your option) any later version.

but the SPDX change added:

   SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

So the file got tagged GPL v2 only while in fact it is licensed under GPL
v2 or later.

It's nice that people care about the SPDX tags, but they need to be more
careful about it. Not everything under (the) sun belongs to ...

Fix up the SPDX identifier and remove the boiler plate text as it is
redundant.

Fixes: c861ef83 ("sun: Add SPDX license tags to Sun network drivers")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
