+dbus: fix the license of gpiodbus.h
+
+The libgpiodbus library - which is entirely automatically generated with
+gdbus-codegen - was meant to be available under LGPLv2.1 like all the
+other shared libraries in this project. Change the SPDX tag in that
+file to LGPL-2.1-or-later.
+
+Fixes: a5ab76da1e0a ("dbus: add the D-Bus daemon, command-line client and tests")
