thanks for your patch, but there are some changes required.

First don't change two different things in one patch. So please make a
V2 with one patch for SPDX and the other one for the type change.

Please use the C++ style for the SPDX id.

Unfortunately your id doesn't match the license text. It's a dual
license|: BSD-3-Clause OR GPL-2.0|

After adding the SPDX id we can drop the whole license text.

In general we should drop the whole typedef, but since the firmware
counterpart would use this. I'm okay with this change.

Why change this line?

That is not the correct license for this file.  Please never make a
change like this unless you really know your license information.

You are doing multiple things in the same patch, which isn't allowed.
Please break all patches up into one "logical" thing per patch and send
a patch series.

Also, are you sure this type change is correct?

thanks,

Apologies. Please ignore this suggestion. C style is correct for header files.
