[PATCH v2] dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Update license for MIPS GIC header
Posted by Gregory CLEMENT 3 months, 1 week ago
According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.rst:
"DT binding files should be dual-licensed." The second license should
be a BSD-like license, allowing the use of the binding in projects
other than Linux. Initially, this file was submitted without any
license and was later automatically converted to the default Linux
license. Let’s now update it to follow the preferred license for the
binding.
