4d846d260e spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD
The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

d915a14ef0 libc: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

26d4f5e969 Add two new routines: fdevname() and fdevname_r().
A more elegant way of obtaining a name of a character device by its file
descriptor on FreeBSD, is to use the FIODGNAME ioctl. Because a valid
file descriptor implies a file descriptor is visible in /dev, it will
always resolve a valid device name.

I'm adding a more friendly wrapper for this ioctl, called fdevname(). It
is a lot easier to use than devname() and also has better error
handling. When a device name cannot be resolved, it will just return
NULL instead of a generated device name that makes no sense.
