[PATCH v5] checkpatch: introduce proper bindings license check
Posted by Dmitry Rokosov 2 years, 10 months ago 
All headers from 'include/dt-bindings/' must be verified by checkpatch
together with Documentation bindings, because all of them are part of
the whole DT bindings system.

The requirement is dual licensed and matching patterns:
* Schemas:
    /GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR BSD-2-Clause/
* Headers:
    /GPL-2\.0(?:-only)? OR \S+/

Above patterns suggested by Rob at:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL_Jsq+-YJsBO+LuPJ=ZQ=eb-monrwzuCppvReH+af7hYZzNaQ@mail.gmail.com

The issue was found during patch review:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230313201259.19998-4-ddrokosov@sberdevices.ru/

Signed-off-by: Dmitry Rokosov <ddrokosov@sberdevices.ru>

Changes v5 since v4 at [4]:
    - only capital OR is acceptable for SPDX per Rob's suggestion

Changes v4 since v3 at [3]:
    - introduce separate pattern for dt-bindings headers following Rob's
      suggestion

Changes v3 since v2 at [2]:
    - replace 'not =~' expression with '!~' to be aligned with other
      checkpatch lines

Changes v2 since v1 at [1]:
    - include/dt-bindings check is aligned to open parens
    - introduce more strict pattern for bindings license:
      /GPL-2\.0(?:-only|-or-later|\+)? (?:OR|or) BSD-2-Clause/
