Also, for TI should we stick to this format as you did above? Copyright (C) 2011-2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated perhaps? But otherwise, Reviewed-by: Dhruva Gole <d-gole@ti.com>

If there are no changes in those years, what exactly are you attempting to copyright for those years? Please talk to your corporate copyright lawyers about this. I'm sure there is a class you can take from them to explain all of this. If not, there's a free one online from the Linux Foundation that you might want to take instead. thanks, greg k-h

Well this particular driver did not exist until 2017 :) But for the earlier hwmod arch code reference above, we could make it 2011-2024. > Also, for TI should we stick to this format as you did above? > Copyright (C) 2011-2024 Texas Instruments Incorporated > perhaps?

Oops, should've checked git log. I think 2017 makes sense then. However the 2011-2012 copyright format comment still stands. > > Please talk to your corporate copyright lawyers about this.

Thanks, will take a look!
