Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: mfd: dual licensing for st,stpmic1 bindings

---

Change include/dt-bindings/mfd/st,stpmic1.h license model from GPLv2.0
only to dual GPLv2.0 or BSD-3-Clause. I have every legitimacy to request
this change on behalf of STMicroelectronics. This change clarifies that
this DT binding header file can be shared with software components as
bootloaders and OSes that are not published under GPLv2 terms.

In CC are all the contributors to this header file.

The usual dual license for bindings is BSD-2-Clause, was there a
specific request for the 3 version?
