[PATCH] iio: adc: ad7625: drop BSD license tag

Posted by Trevor Gamblin 11 months ago

The ad7625 driver was submitted under a dual BSD/GPL license, but this
isn't a requirement for the code, and adds extra complexity. To make it
consistent with similar drivers, drop the BSD tag and leave it as
GPL-2.0-only.

Your code, so your choice either way.  Applied.
