Subject: [PATCH 0/3] arm64: dts: arm: Fix copyrights and license tags

The usage of license tags and copyrights for the DT files of Arm Ltd.
devices was rather incoherent: some didn't carry either at all, some
just got a placeholder GPL-2.0 tag, others didn't use SPDX tags, etc.

Fix this by harmonising the licences and tags:
- Every file gets a SPDX tag, dual licensing with GPL and some BSD
  compatible license, as it is recommended for DT files.
- GPL requires a copyright line, so add Copyright lines to every file as
  well. The company used (either Arm Ltd. or Linaro) was derived by
  looking at the domain of the initial contributor. I would like to ask
  Grant Likely (or someone else from Linaro) to confirm this for Linaro.

This was triggered when trying to import kernel DT files into the
Trusted Firmware-A repository, so that the DTB can be built into the FIP
package. This requires both a BSD compatible license, but also does
checks for SPDX tags and Copyright lines in its CI.

Cheers,
Andre
