Again, write the patch description in imperative mood (e.g. "Do foo").

Nope.

The license boilerplate says LGPL 2.1 or any later version, so the
corresponding SPDX tag should have been:

```
// SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1-or-later
```

And please also delete the boilerplate and separate this SPDX conversion
into its own patch.

Thanks.
