Subject: [PATCH] ARM: mvebu: dove: Relicense the device tree under GPLv2+/X11

The current implicit GPL only licensing on the device tree makes it
very impractical for other software components licensed under another
license.

In order to make it easier for them to reuse our device trees,
relicense our device trees under a GPL/X11 dual-license.

Hi,

with Dove we only have a small set of people who can be git blame'd for
the DT files:
- Jason Cooper
- Ezequiel Garcia
- Andrew Lunn
- Jean-Francois Moine
- Russell King
- Myself

so I decided to keep the whole relicensing in a single patch. Please send
your Acked-by's in reply to this patch if you are happy with the relicensing.

Thanks,
Sebastian

I normally don't include the "or later version" for my license changes
as I've only accepted to contribute under the terms of GPLv2.

Ok, I guess this is a NACK for GPLv2+ but an Acked-by if we limit the
GPL part to GPLv2 only?

If so, is everybody else who already Acked the GPLv2+ part also fine
with reducing the GPL version to "version 2 only" ?
