Not as far as I know.
I believe the uses of "-only" and "-or-later" are
superior to the current
styles and should be done
sooner than later.
I trust at some point the documentation will be
updated and something like the script I submitted
to do the conversions will be run across the tree.
At that point, checkpatch will be updated to do
appropriate specific license checking.
