Subject: [PATCH v2] misc: hpilo: relicense HPE iLO driver as Dual MIT/GPL

From: Matt Hsiao <matt.hsiao@....com>

Currently, the hpilo driver is licensed as GPL. To run OpenBSD on HPE
servers with BMC (HPE iLO) functionality, a dual MIT/GPL license is needed
for porting the hpilo driver to OpenBSD.

Signed-off-by: Matt Hsiao <matt.hsiao@....com>

Thanks for your contributions to the hpilo driver. Please kindly review
the license change and hopefully you would agree and approve it. Thanks!

Patch v2:
---------
- Change MODULE_LICENSE to Dual MIT/GPL too
