Why? I don't have a need for it and someone should test it if this should be
used in SPL. That can be done on the top of this when tested.
I see.

Drop 2025?
Why? Driver was developed in 2025 but upstreaming happens in 2026.
I think the year should start from the day of upstreaming. Not sure.
Tom may comment.
I saw https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-years/ go
by around January 1st and it's somewhere on my TODO list to ask what SFC
thinks about it.
So to be clear, I don't have an opinion either way on what date this
uses when upstreaming. But it might be good for the project if we can
just drop the years, which is very clearly out of scope for this patch.
Driver was developed 2025 and sent 2026. We have a lot of downstream patches
which were developed some time ago and then later sent but I can't remember any
ask to drop previous years. Definitely people are asking to update year to match
year when driver was sent.
And there could be a lot of development done before too.
If driver is taken from 3rd party/contributor likely you have to keep their
origin copyright and years too. You can't remove their copyright with old date too.
I don't think there is a need to remove previous year or asking to do it.
Thanks,
Michal
