This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Newer kernels will emit uevents with "bind" and "unbind" actions. These
uevents will be issued when driver is bound to or unbound from a device.
"Bind" events are helpful when device requires a firmware to operate
properly, and driver is unable to create a child device before firmware
is properly loaded.
For some reason systemd validates actions and drops the ones it does not
know, instead of passing them on through as old udev did, so we need to
explicitly teach it about them.
The 'drivers' pseudo-subsystem needs special treatment. These pseudo-devices are
found under /sys/bus/drivers/, so needs the real subsystem encoded
in the device_id in order to be resolved.
The reader side already assumed this to be the case.
Usually, we place the #pragma once before the copyright blurb in header files,
but in a few cases we didn't. Move those around, so that we do the same thing
everywhere.
This reverts b67f944. Lazy loading of device properties does not work for devices
that are received over netlink, as these are sealed. Reinstate the unconditional
loading of the device db.

This provides equivalent functionality to libudev-device, but in the
systemd style. The public API only caters to creating sd_device objects
from for devices that already exist in /sys, there is no support for
listening for monitoring events or creating devices received over
the udev netlink protocol.
The private API contains the necessary functionality to make sd-device
a drop-in replacement for libudev-device, but which we would not
otherwise want to export.
