iwl-trans-pcie.c is one of the source files in iwlwifi driver hold
dual-license (GPL + BSD), are you ok to release your code for the BSD
license and relinquish the copyright?

btw, we are in the process of rewrite and re-architect major portion of
iwlwifi driver, and we also plan to make most of the code dual-license
(GPL + BSD). 

Thanks you in advance

Wey
