[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: net: dp8386x: Add MIT license along with GPL-2.0

[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: net: dp8386x: Add MIT license along with GPL-2.0

[Udit Kumar]

Modify license to include dual licensing as GPL-2.0-only OR MIT
license for TI specific phy header files. This allows for Linux
kernel files to be used in other Operating System ecosystems
such as Zephyr or FreeBSD.

While at this, update the GPL-2.0 to be GPL-2.0-only to be in sync
with latest SPDX conventions (GPL-2.0 is deprecated).

While at this, update the TI copyright year to sync with current year
to indicate license change.

You don't need Thomas's ack for what was just boilerplate license text 
to SPDX tag.

IANAL, but 1 define doesn't make for copyrightable work.

Kip, ack?

Failing that (+1 to I'm not a lawyer, but) Udit, you both have @ti.com
addresses, can you confirm the intellectual rights are with TI?
In which case we won't have to wait for Kip.. Obviously easiest if they
just ack.

For ti authors, I represent ti for this patch.
