As mentioned in the commit message, this device is very similar to 
Microsoft Romulus (Surface Laptop 7).

Its associated device tree (x1e80100-microsoft-romulus.dtsi) was used as 
a starting point for SP11, and so I felt it would be courteous to keep 
the original copyright notice there.

If this isn't appropriate, then that's fair enough and we can remove it.
