@Cristian and Manfred:

We want to replace the license boilerplate with SPDX tags. The file,
kernel/time/posix-clock.c, is copyrighted by omicron, and so we need
your okay. All that is needed is a reply to this email with an
omicron Acked-by tag, like this:

Acked-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@xxxxxxxxx>

Thanks,
Richard
