It is allowed to use MTK NAND driver with GPL-2.0 or MIT license.
But now it is only licensed as GPL-2.0.
So re-license it as dual MIT/GPL.

I fear this needs ACKs from all authors and major contributors of the driver
before we can apply such a change.

Yes. MTK wants to solicit ACKs for this change from copyrights holders
here.
I added another driver author Jorge, and let's wait for the response.

You are missing at least Ryder Lee, Rafał Miłecki and Wen Yang in the CC list.
I think it would be good to understand why you want to distribute the driver
under MIT license.
