In order to make it easier for them to reuse our device trees,
relicense our device trees under a GPL/X11 dual-license.

so I decided to keep the whole relicensing in a single patch. Please send
your Acked-by's in reply to this patch if you are happy with the relicensing.

I normally don't include the "or later version" for my license changes
as I've only accepted to contribute under the terms of GPLv2.

Ok, I guess this is a NACK for GPLv2+ but an Acked-by if we limit the
GPL part to GPLv2 only?

If so, is everybody else who already Acked the GPLv2+ part also fine
with reducing the GPL version to "version 2 only" ?
