[PATCH] hw/rtc/sun4v-rtc: Relicense to GPLv2-or-later

[Peter Maydell]

The sun4v RTC device model added under commit a0e893039cf2ce0 in 2016
was unfortunately added with a license of GPL-v3-or-later, which is
not compatible with other QEMU code which has a GPL-v2-only license.

Relicense the code in the .c and the .h file to GPL-v2-or-later,
to make it compatible with the rest of QEMU.

Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
---
Before we can commit this to either head-of-git or any stable branch,
we need a Signed-off-by: from everybody who's touched this file (or,
for corporate contributions, from somebody from the relevant company
who can confirm that the company is OK with the licensing, which is
RedHat and Linaro in this case).

The full list of people who've made changes to the file is:
 Artyom Tarasenko <atar4qemu@gmail.com>
 Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@linaro.org>
 Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
 Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>

(Artyom is the original author; everybody else's changes are largely
mechanical, refactoring, etc.  We've done some behind-the-scenes
coordination so I don't anticipate any problems getting the
signoffs.)

I doubt my contributions to these files are creative enough to qualify
for copyright, but better safe than sorry:

On behalf of Red Hat, I can confirm that any contributions to
this file where Red Hat would hold copyright are acceptable
to relicense to GPL-v2-or-later.

All contributions from Red Hat are GPLv2 or later (though it's nice
that Markus signed off on his own), so

Excellent. I believe that is then everybody's signoff that
we need, so I'll make sure this gets into a pullreq by the end
of the week (and add the cc:stable tag for it).

Thanks everybody for your assistance in getting this sorted out.
