[PATCH] firewire: cdev: change license of exported header files to MIT license

[PATCH] firewire: cdev: change license of exported header files to MIT license

[Stefan Richter]

Among else, this allows projects like libdc1394 to carry copies of the
ABI related header files without them or distributors having to worry
about effects on the project's overall license terms.  Switch to MIT
license as suggested by Kristian.  Also update the year in the
copyright statement according to source history.
