Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: check proper licensing of Devicetree bindings
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2020 13:33:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200129123334.388530-1-lkundrak@v3.sk> (raw)
According to Devicetree maintainers (see Link: below), the Devicetree
binding documents are preferrably licensed (GPL-2.0-only OR
BSD-2-Clause).
Let's check that. The actual check is a bit more relaxed, to allow more
liberal but compatible licensing (e.g. GPL-2.0-or-later OR
BSD-2-Clause).
