Including a file does not make your work derivative (at least usually),
so either you based your work on existing file or you created a new
file. If you created a new file, then I would propose to license this
the same as we license bindings, so:
GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause

No, I just wanted to be sure you used valid value. Few more boards use
decimal 34.
