Subject: [PATCH] of: Update license for MIPS GIC header

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.

Hi Andrew,

I’m assuming you are the same Andrew Bresticker who initially wrote
this file. As the author, would you agree to update the license for
the reasons I outlined in the commit log? If you’re okay with this
change, I believe an Acked-by tag would suffice.

Let me know your thoughts.

Gregory
