I have no opinion about this. Code has a top description from which it
has been taken / derived, so, I dunno if GPL is what it really is.

In any case it's probably worth to add SPDX header as well.

Hmm, there is a warning complains no MODULE_LICENSE() in lib/crc64.c,
when I compile a kernel for testing. The purpose is just to kill a
compiler warning.

And sure, I will post an update version with SPDX header.

Thanks for the hint :-)
