Documentation/devicetree/bindings/submitting-patches.rst overrides the
general rule, for binding files, and it says (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause)
is preferred. Also when I checked checkpatch indeed warned about this. As
for the existing files: yes, many of them are not compliant atm:
$ git grep -h SPDX include/dt-bindings | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -13
10 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR MIT */
13 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0-only OR MIT) */
13 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR BSD-2-Clause */
14 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
19 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
27 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 OR MIT) */
31 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause */
31 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later */
33 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0+ OR MIT) */
36 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ */
176 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only */
192 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause) */
281 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
But for new patches we should definitely aim to be correct. Differing
license requirements are one price we pay for not having a separate DT
repository.
Cheers,
Andre
