[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: mfd: dual licensing for st,stpmic1 bindings

[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: mfd: dual licensing for st,stpmic1 bindings

[Etienne Carriere]

Change include/dt-bindings/mfd/st,stpmic1.h license model from GPLv2.0
only to dual GPLv2.0 or BSD-2-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.

Changes since v1:
- Change request license from "GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-3-Clause" to
  "GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause".
- Update Lee's e-mail address.

My mistake. Thanks for spotting that.
I have my company agreement for the 2 dual models: "OR BSD-2-Clause" and "OR BSD-3-Clause".
We expect to conform to DT bindings preferred licensing model. Indeed the kernel documentation explicitly mention "GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause".
We prefer to conform with it. I'll update my patch.

By the way, I'll fix Lee Jones e-mail address that is deprecated.

BR,
Etienne

I figure this is a send-email mistake cos you have to do something
god-forsaken to send plaintext mail from the st mail system.

"this" being that you sent a v1 reply in the thread of the v2, before
then sending it again against v1.

My copy comes from b4, and looks like it fixes old addresses. Neat.

The file only shows contributions from Pascal, so you don't need any 
acks for license change. For the change itself:
